Bondi Beach – Our Hearts Are Broken
Our hearts are broken Our hearts are broken. We stand in deep sorrow and solidarity with the Jewish community after the horrific antisemitic terrorist attack at the Hanukkah celebration in Sydney’s Bondi Beach. What was meant to be a joyful gathering to celebrate the Festival of Lights turned into a scene of unimaginable tragedy, with at least 15 people killed and many more wounded.

Antisemitism in any form is abhorrent and has no place in our society. We are outraged that people were attacked simply for their faith and for coming together in peace.

To the families who lost loved ones and to all those injured—your pain is our pain. We send our deepest condolences, prayers, and support. May the memories of the deceased be for a blessing.

As a community, we stand united against antisemitism and all forms of hate.

Now is the time for compassion, action, and unwavering support for our Jewish neighbors and friends around the world.

Camp Boston-Sderot 2025

Camp Sderot-Boston The 17th Annual Boston-Sderot Summer Camp opened its doors to 80 children of Sderot this summer. We reunited for another successful session of Camp Boston Sderot filled with laughter, learning, and many lasting memories. From the moment the bus pulled in through the gates, there was no doubt this year's camp would be something special. Our incredible group of counselors, made up of three young Americans and ten Israelis, joined as a team to make all 50 campers feel loved and included. It was truly inspiring to see our Israeli counselors, who grew up in the camp themselves, step confidently into their roles as leaders, modeling teamwork, compassion, and dedication for the younger participants.
