At the funeral of Rabbi Eli Schlanger, one of the 15 victims of Sunday’s terrorist attack in Bondi, Rabbi Ritchie Moss stood before the assembled crowd and urged the community to honour Schlanger by “being so much more Jewish, more proud, more loving”.
On the same day, a Jewish bakery in inner-city Sydney closed its doors, apparently for good, saying that in the wake of the Bondi attack “one thing has become clear – it is no longer possible to make outwardly, publicly, proudly Jewish places and events safe in Australia”.
