At 6:47 p.m., memorials and moments of silence honored those slain in the antisemitic attack in Sydney
Australia was observing a nationwide moment of remembrance on Sunday for the victims of the Bondi Beach Chanukah terrorist attack, one week after the massacre, with vigils taking place at 6:47 p.m., the time the shooting started.
Thousands gathered in Sydney’s eastern suburbs where the attack occurred to observe the minute of silence as part of events taking place across the country. Amid heightened security, the Jewish community of New South Wales held a vigil and commemoration for the victims and survivors at Bondi Beach. Dignitaries and religious leaders addressed the event.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the Day of Reflection “a moment for Australia to stand with our Jewish community.”
