Zak"m= Zera Kedoshei Mumbai

The Jewish surname Zaks or Sachs is an acronym. It stands for Zera Kedoshei Speyer= "the offspring of the (Crusade) martyrs of Speyer". Well now we sadly have Zera Kedoshei Mumbai

If you'd like to help support the orphans of those martyred in Mumbai here are two links. I'll bl"n post more as they become available.

Update: I've pieced together this info from yesterdays HaModia and from a Chabad bloggish friend: The Holtzbergs had their pekel tzuris even before their gruesome violent deaths: They had three children. One died of Tay-Sachs another has it and is institutionalized, r"l. Moshe is the sole healthy child. TTBOMK two funds have been set up.

Moshe Holtzberg Fund
1419 President Street
Brooklyn,NY 11213

Rav Gavriel Noach Holtzberg hy"d
Chabad of Mumbai Releiuef Fund
770 Eastern parkway
Brooklyn, NY 11213

Sources in Chabad HQ told my friend that the 770 address fund is for both Moshe and to rebuild the destroyed center in Mumbai.
