"About 24 hours after terror was unleashed on Sydney’s Bondi beach, Rabbi
Jeffrey Kamins stood in the city’s Hyde Park and delivered a message of unity.
“So many in our Jewish community have received messages of love from leaders in
different faith communities, from Palestinian friends and friends around this
country, and in so doing, we are now learning we are all just flesh and blood,
and we are all also the light,” he said.
The vigil, on Monday evening, was to commemorate the 15 killed and dozens
injured and traumatised in Sunday’s antisemitic terror attack on Bondi beach.
After Kamins’s speech, Bilal Rauf, special adviser at the Australian National
Imams Council, offered “deep heartbreak and condolences”, noting the pain
reminded him of his own community after the 2019 Christchurch massacre.
Afterwards, the pair embraced in a hug as the crowd broke into applause."
