All of us at The LJD Jewish Family & Community Services are deeply saddened by Sunday’s tragic shooting on Sydney’s Bondi Beach. The beginning of Hanukkah should be a time of light and reflection. An attack on our Jewish community, even thousands of miles away, is also an attack on our community here in the United States. There is no place for hate in this world, especially in this season celebrating faith, joy, and miracles. Our hearts are with those mourning loved ones during this sacred time.
Colleen L. Rodriguez, CEO, The LJD Jewish Family & Community Services
