A Statement of Solidarity

Our hearts are broken by the horrific terrorist attack that occurred yesterday in Sydney, where 16 innocent lives were taken during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.

We stand in absolute solidarity with the Jewish community in Australia and around the world. This was an act of pure hatred, designed to terrorize and divide.

We unequivocally condemn all forms of racism, antisemitism, and religious intolerance. We condemn the radical extremism that drives such unconscionable violence. We condemn those who would target people for their faith, their heritage, or their identity.

In Australia and everywhere in the world, there is no place for this hatred. There is no justification for this violence. There is no tolerance for this evil.

To our Jewish friends and neighbors: we see you, we stand with you, and we grieve with you.

May the memories of those lost be a blessing.
