Bay Area Jewish community ‘heartbroken’ over attack at Australia Hanukkah festival

THERE HAS BEEN AN OUTPOURING OF GRIEF and condemnation from Bay Area leaders in government and the Jewish community following a terrorist attack Sunday on Jewish people gathered to celebrate the first night Hanukkah at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.

At least 16 people were killed in the attack, which was carried out with long guns. That figure included one of the two suspects, according to New South Wales Premier Chris Minns, who spoke at a news conference streamed online.
