NYC Jewish community gathers in grief after Bondi Beach Hanukkah attack

A Hanukkah celebration in Sydney turned into a massacre after police say a father and son opened fire at a Bondi Beach event, killing 15 people and injuring dozens more. Authorities found multiple firearms and explosive devices, calling the attack an act of terrorism. As Australia prepares to tighten already strict gun laws, New York’s Jewish community gathered at the world’s largest menorah in Midtown, turning what should have been a night of joy into a moment of mourning. Despite the somber mood, community leaders say the attack is fueling unity, resilience, and a renewed commitment to celebrating Hanukkah publicly. FOX 5 NY’s Hayley Fixler reports.
