The Sullivan County Coalition Against Antisemitism issued the following statement concerning the terrorist attack on Jewish attendees at the Chanukah celebration in Australia:

We are shocked and saddened to learn that innocent Jewish participants in a Chanukah celebration in Australia were victims of a horrendous terrorist attack. Though a world away, our hearts go out to the families of those killed and we pray for a speedy and full recovery for those injured.

We are concerned that this latest assault underscores how vulnerable Jews are wherever they live. We pray that this shocking attack will underscore the need for respect for all faiths and religious observances.

The Sullivan County Coalition Against Antisemitism represents more than a dozen local Jewish organizations and Jewish houses of worship joined in their commitment to combating antisemitism and hate in all its forms.

Our hearts ache for the victims and families impacted by the tragedy at Bondi Beach. May the memories of those lost be a blessing, and may comfort and strength surround all who are grieving.

We are said to announce the passing of our dear friend and former President, Bob Freedman.

For more than three decades, Bob devoted himself to Agudas Achim with vision, courage, and unwavering commitment. His leadership guided our congregation through one of the most significant transitions in our history, helping shepherd our community from its Orthodox roots into the vibrant Reform congregation we are today.

He was more than that though. Bob was a husband, a father, a grandfather, an educator, a community leader a friend and a good man. We already miss him.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Lynne, his son Michael and his grandchildren, May his memory be a blessing.

YIZKOR

Yizkor means remember. The Yizkor service is an opportunity to honor those that have passed by giving tzedakah [charity] in their memory, on the theory that the good deeds of the survivors elevate the souls of the departed. By giving charity, we are performing a positive physical deed in this world, something that the departed can no longer do.
