American Friends of Neve Hanna stands in solidarity with the Jewish Community of Australia in the wake of the antisemitic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach, as they were celebrating the Hanukkah Festival.
Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with the Jewish Community and the People of Australia during this difficult time. We mourn the devastating loss of life, extend our deepest condolences, send comfort to the families of those who were murdered, and offer prayers for healing to those who were injured.
May the memories of the victims forever be a blessing.
The Hanukkah menorah is a powerful symbol of light, resilience, and hope, celebrated for its message of triumph over adversity and darkness. The festival encourages observers to bring light into the world, both literally through the candles and metaphorically through actions of kindness and justice.
May the lights of Hanukkah banish the darkness and hatred in the world, and with it, bring hope and peace.
