Australia Unites in Grief for Hanukkah Shooting Victims
•
Australians unite in grief for a national Day of Reflection, marking the deadliest mass shooting in nearly thirty years. Gunmen attacked a Hanukkah festival in Sydney, killing fifteen and wounding dozens. At six forty-seven p.m., folks will light candles to honor the victims. The federal government and New South Wales state officials declared it an official day of mourning. Indigenous leaders held a traditional smoking ceremony at Bondi Pavilion, where flowers and messages have piled up at an impromptu memorial. Thousands are expected to gather at Bondi to stand with the Jewish community. Leaders say the attack wasnt just against Jews but against core Australian values of tolerance. Thirteen survivors remain in Sydney hospitals, including the alleged gunman, Naveed Akram. Flags fly at half-staff, and TV and radio pause for a minute of silence. Jewish families demand real change against rising antisemitism. As Hanukkah wraps up, communities invite everyone to light the final candle, proving light always beats the dark.
