Toronto synagogues are holding Hanukkah events to demonstrate resilience amid 10 vandalism incidents locally since Oct. 2023 and a deadly Australia shooting.
- Toronto synagogues will proceed with planned Hanukkah services despite the Bondi Beach attack that left at least 11 dead and 29 wounded in Australia.
- Since Oct. 7, 2023, the GTA has seen repeated antisemitic incidents, including vandalism at Kehillat Shaarei Torah synagogue and shootings at a local school last year.
- Two gunmen opened fire at the Bondi Beach event, and police engaged them, with one attacker taken into custody and the other fatally shot; Anthony Albanese called it antisemitic terrorism.
- Levi Gansburg spent the morning coordinating with Toronto police for extra security as the force monitors events in Australia and increases presence in the Jewish community in the GTA.
- The death of an event organizer and national tributes highlighted the attack’s toll as Jewish officials identified Rabbi Eli Schlanger among the dead, while Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed horror and solidarity.
