The funeral for Rabbi Eli Schlanger, a key organizer of a Jewish celebration, was held Wednesday in Sydney, Australia, marking the first service for the 15 victims of the Bondi Beach mass shooting. Hundreds gathered at the Chabad of Bondi synagogue to mourn Schlanger, who was killed in what authorities have described as a terrorist attack targeting the Jewish community. Speakers at the funeral remembered Schlanger as a devoted and generous pillar of the community. The mourners expressed grief, shock, and anger over the attack, which they believed could have been prevented, and some criticized the government's response to antisemitism. The shooting, the worst in Australia in nearly 30 years, has deeply shaken the community.
