Rabbi David Grossman, the Rabbi of Migdal Ha'Emek and uncle of Rivka Holzberg, brought into his home the infant son of the Holzberg's, and the nanny, Sandra Samuel, who miraculously rescued the child. While they were in his home, Rabbi Grossman, known as the Disco Rabbi, composed a niggun (holy verses put to song) to give thanks for saving the lives of baby Moishe and others in this horrendous tragedy.
The words to the niggun are a verse from the 18th blessing of the 'Amidah' Silent Prayer which is recited by observant Jews three times every day. It reads "HaTov Ki Lo Chalu Rachamecha VeHaMerachem Ki Lo Tamu Chasadecha, Ki Me'Olam Kivinu Lach" ("The Good, because Your mercy has not ended, and the Merciful One because your kindness is not over, for we have always hoped for You." ) The words and translation from Israel News article at http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/128783
