Praying for the Jewish community, another targeted attack in Australia on the first night of Hanukkah.
Tragedy does not require you to share a faith to feel its weight. When violence strikes, we all feel the pain. You don’t need to be Jewish to grieve, to mourn mothers, children, and neighbors torn from their lives
We should not turn away. Let empathy be our practice: listen, stand up, and show up for one another. One day, it could be us—at a holiday table!
Choose solidarity over silence. Speak out against hate, protect the vulnerable, and nurture communities where everyone can celebrate safely. May our shared humanity guide us toward action, today and every day.
At least 15 people were killed at a Jewish gathering on Australia's Bondi Beach, according to Australian government officials and police. One of two gunmen was also dead.
