Good morning. As you receive this email it is Monday evening in Sydney, where the Jewish community, the city and the country are grappling with grief after the deadliest terrorist attack in Australia in modern times.
On Sunday evening, at least 15 people, including one child, were killed after two men, said by police to be a father and son armed with guns, opened fire on a Hanukah celebration at Bondi beach in Sydney. Dozens more were injured in what police have declared a targeted antisemitic terrorist attack. The older of the two men was shot by police and is dead.
