I know things can feel heavy and hopeless at times. There is so much needless death and tragedy all around us.

When you’re feeling low, reach out to your loved ones. Tell them how much they mean to you.

Spread some love and laughter in a weary world.

Because we have to face hate and transform it in order to end it. roberthubbell.substack.com/p/we-cannot-...

We cannot look away. We owe it to the victims, their families, and future generations.

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing.

While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too.

On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.

Today's moment of hope/beauty/inspiration. Yes, there still are heroes out there. And for the bigots, in this country, it's important to know that this one is a Muslim. www.jpost.com/internationa...

All people, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, race, or religion, deserve to feel safe. This appears to have been a horrific attack on the Jewish community in Australia. We grieve along with the families of those who were lost.
