A Sunday Evening At Bondi Beach
Mamamia Out Loud
Explaining Hanukkah and the Bondi community
Mia explains Hanukkah's meaning and the family-focused, open nature of the Bondi Chabad festival.
It's not a usual show today, because it's not a usual day.
At sunset on Sunday, at Australia's most famous beach, Australia experienced the worst act of terrorism ever to take place on our soil. As the local Jewish community celebrated the beginning of Chanukah, families gathered around food, face-painting and even a petting zoo for an 'everyone is welcome' opening to the Festival Of Lights. And two men opened fire.
Some Outlouders will be directly affected by what happened on Sunday. Others will be far removed but asking how this could happen here in Australia, and what they can do to help. Some will just want to talk it over. Today Mia Freedman, Jessie Stephens, Holly Wainwright and Amelia Lester are here to do exactly that.
