A day after the terror attack on a Jewish-community event at Bondi Beach in Sydney, people gathered there this evening (Australia time) to light Hanukkah candles, on the second night of the eight-day holiday.
The large crowd sang “Ya’aseh Shalom,” a prayer for peace.
The Jewish community came to Bondi to light the second candle of Hanukkah and is singing songs of peace, because this is who we are, a peaceful people who just want to live freely.
