1 week ago The Bondi attack has desecrated our most joyful festival. My anger burns white hot | Jonathan Seidler

On the final night before it returns to the shelf, our hanukiah blazes. Being Jewish in Australia feels increasingly hazardousTen minutes of terror: how the Bondi mass shooting unfolded in real time – videoFollow the latest live updatesOur hanukiah is ridiculous. I love it precisely for its absurdity; a chunky, oversized piece designed by a dear friend and crafted from aircrete. It looks like a forgotten set piece from The Flintstones. In a family home that also contains challah covers, mezuzahs, kippot and Shabbat candles, our menorah is easily the most overtly Jewish thing we own. Its presence badges us immediately. Brash and proud. Up until last week, this never struck me as a problem.In my many overlapping circles of friends and collaborators, I am one of the only Jews they know. I spend a lot of time explaining our traditions to film directors, musicians, editors and producers. Why we fast on Yom Kippur. How often we observe Shabbat. How kashrut works, even though I am partial ...

1 week ago The Bondi terror attack was designed to drive us to rancour – but there is no peace in division | Thomas Keneally

A desperate opposition may be tempted to stoop to gross opportunism, but we must not set one group of society against another Victims of Bondi beach shootingTen minutes of terror: how the Bondi mass shooting unfolded in real time – videoThe Bondi attack was an unutterably cruel event, all the more horrifying for being ours, and we can’t stop ourselves saying so. It is a sword that fell on the necks of two sets of Australians. Yet again, young Australian Jews will be asking parents why they are hated, and that is heartbreaking. In a different sense, so will young Muslims.During their apparent sojourn in a Campsie B&B, the alleged terrorists could not have been confident of their own survival, but they must have been confident in producing a reaction. It is a matter of civic pride that a Muslim man accosted one of the gunmen and took a weapon from him; a matter of a small yelp of praise and gratitude amid the cruelty. Continue reading...
