We are deeply distressed by the horrific events unfolding in Sydney. Our thoughts are with all those affected and the Australian Jewish community. May the memories of those killed be a blessing, and we wish a quick and full recovery to all those injured.
The global rise of antisemitism and violence is a truly disturbing trend. We cannot allow growing hate towards Jews – or, indeed, any other minority or group – to ever become normalised.
Amidst such darkness, we have to find the strength to bring light into the world this Chanukah. Our pain and grief must drive us to remain resilient and stand against division – working to bring people together for a future where all can live free from fear.
