'An unspeakable loss': Funeral takes place for rabbi killed in Bondi shooting

Thousands gathered in Sydney for the funeral of Rabbi Eli Schlanger, one of the 15 victims killed in the Bondi Beach shooting during a Hanukkah festival. Rabbi Schlanger, known as the "Bondi Rabbi," was remembered for his dedication to the community and his role in organizing the event. Speakers at the service, including Rabbi Levi Wolff and Rabbi Yehoram Ulman, mourned his loss and emphasized his love for his community. Rabbi Ulman urged Jewish people to remain visible and announced plans to continue a Hanukkah tradition on Bondi Beach. Funerals for other victims, including Rabbi Yaakov Levitan and 10-year-old Matilda, are also scheduled. The father of Matilda praised those who assisted his family after the attack.
