#antisemitic-attack

A few days before he took his last, mercifully peaceful, breath, my husband, Ian Reinecke, looked at me intently and asked, Is there anything going on in the world I need to know about? No, nothing, I said as calmly as I could to the man with whom I had intensely discussed events in the world and at home for nearly 50 years.

Australia is reeling from what is simultaneously its deadliest terror and antisemitic attack . Sixteen people have now been declared dead in the attack, where two gunmen opened fire at the so-called Chanukah by the Sea celebration, an annual event to mark Hanukkah held at Bondi Beach in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, capital of the state of New South Wales.
