| We are horrified and shaken in the wake of the mass shooting at a Chanukah event in Bondi this evening, which has left at least ten people dead and injured many more. This is the first night of Chanukah when we gather with loved ones and friends to light the Chanukiah. Many within our community have just received the worst news of their lives. Others are caring for injured loved ones, and some are still waiting to hear that their families are safe. |

| Bart Shteinman, Executive Member We should all be able to gather with our communities, practice our culture, and worship in safety. Our hearts are with our friends, family, fellow community members and everyone impacted by this terrifying event. Sarah Schwartz, Executive Officer To be confronted with this horrific act of antisemitic violence during the Jewish festival of light and hope is shattering. In moments like this, we hold each other close. |
