Hanukah

Hanukah, the Jewish festival of lights, is a holiday celebrated over eight days, commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Recently, a mass shooting occurred at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, during Hanukah celebrations, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. This attack, described as antisemitic, has prompted increased security measures for Jewish communities in the UK and heightened concerns about antisemitism in Australia. Families of the victims are demanding a royal commission to investigate antisemitism and law enforcement responses. The attack, Australia's deadliest mass shooting in decades, has led to community gatherings, tributes, and a swim for unity at Bondi Beach. A Jewish bakery in Sydney closed due to safety concerns, highlighting the impact of the attack on the Jewish community. The incident underscores the vulnerability of Jewish communities and the need for increased vigilance and action against antisemitism.
