Mumbai Doctor Smashed Idols and Became a Jew with Gabi & RIvki Holtzbergs a"h
Dr. Aharon Abraham, in the footsteps of Avraham Avinu, smashed his father's idols (and his mother prepared the food for this idols) and left his position as Director of the ICU Medical Center at British Kennedy in Mumbai, India, after his spiritual guides, Rabbi Gabi and Rivky Holtzberg were murdered.
While studying medicine at University he first read a Bible; he became amazed by the story of Abraham and others: "A new world opened before me."
'Our whole life centered around the Chabad House, "he said in a trembling voice." It's the only place where we could get kosher food. Gabi and Rivki were our guides, we did not move without them. They gave us Judaism and we gave them medical care for their sick child. We began a process of true conversion and found the extraordinary beauty of the Torah commandments. Then came that terrible night, and took away my Master ...". He sobs a few moments and says: "But what we learned from Gabi and Rivki will accompany us and our children forever."
