Alternative Jewish Voices On Bondi Beach Attack
December 15, 2025
This morning we awake to the shocking news that two murderers have attacked Jewish Australians at a Chanukah gathering. We condemn utterly each act of senseless violence. Chanukah is a festival of light, and this crime has cast it into deep darkness.
We in Aotearoa were forever changed by another act of murder at a religious site. Our grief remains raw. This morning we feel it in empathy for the Jewish community in Sydney as they reckon with their losses. We send them our aroha and we wish comfort for them in their trauma.
We should all be safe when we gather. All of us, everywhere.
Zichronum Livrachah – may their memories be a blessing.
