Permanently honouring Bondi victims

Four months after the terrorist attack that claimed 15 Jewish lives at Archer Park, a memorial plaque has been unveiled at North Bondi RSL in a moving ceremony that brought together the Jewish community, military veterans and Bondi locals.

The plaque stands as a permanent tribute to those killed at the Chanukah event on December 14, and as a symbol of the bond between the Jewish community, the RSL’s veteran members and the broader Bondi community.

“We gather here tonight in memory – memory of fifteen lives taken from this world in an act that defies understanding,” Rabbi Yehoram Ulman said.

“We stand together in grief, in reflection, and in unity.”

Drawing on the Jewish tradition of the Seven Noahide Laws, a universal moral foundation, he said they speak of “justice, of respect for life, of moral responsibility, of building a world grounded in what is right”.
