Most people remember him as Baby Moshe. He was two when he lost both his parents in the ghastly 2008 Mumbai attacks at the Chabad house in Mumbai. Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg were directors of the Chabad House, popularly known as Nariman House in Mumbai.
Moshe survived after his Indian nanny Sandra Samuels hid with him in the house after his parents were killed.
On Wednesday, an 11-year-old young boy who now lives with his grandparents in Israel, hugged Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is on a visit to Israel, a first ever for an Indian Prime Minister.
"Dear Mr Modi, I love you and your people in India," Moshe said when he met the Indian Prime Minister, NDTV reported.
The Prime Minister accompanied by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, also met Moshe's Indian nanny Sandra Samuels, who managed to escape with him from the Nariman House which came under attack by militants, and his grandparents Shimon and Yehudit Rosenberg.
PM Modi assured Moshe that he can visit India at any time, for which he and his family will be given a long term visa.
PM Modi later tweeted, "It was an emotional moment to meet young Moshe, his maternal and paternal grandparents and Ms Sandra Solomon, his nanny."
