Our thoughts are with our Jewish members

December 15, 2025

We are deeply shaken and distressed by the attack on the Australian Jewish community at their Hannukah celebration at Bondi Beach yesterday.

It was an attack not only on them but the Australian way of life at one of the country’s most iconic meeting places for community and happiness.

As a community organisation, Bridge NSW champions inclusiveness and tolerance. We welcome people from all backgrounds, cultures and faiths. And we strongly oppose all forms of hate, including racism and antisemitism.

To our Jewish members, their families, friends and communities, please know you are in our thoughts. We offer you our support, strength and compassion.
