Community Shabbat dinner at Bondi in planning
A motion will be put forward Council’s meeting on Tuesday, March 24 by Waverley mayor Will Nemesh and deputy mayor Keri Spooner
Waverley Council plans to host a community Shabbat dinner at the Bondi Pavilion courtyard in partnership with the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies.
A motion to be tabled at Council’s meeting on Tuesday, March 24 will recommend proceeding with the event, which is intended to provide “an opportunity for collective healing” following the December 14, 2025 terror attack at Bondi Beach.
The motion, to be put forward by Waverley mayor Will Nemesh and deputy mayor Keri Spooner, states the dinner would “demonstrate our resilience following the tragic events of 14 December 2025”.
Once the motion is passed as expected, officers will prepare a report to the April council meeting outlining the format, budget, grant funding and sponsorship for the Shabbat dinner.
The council motion notes that hosting a Shabbat dinner at Bondi Beach is “a meaningful opportunity to bring our community together through one of Judaism’s most enduring traditions”.
