Following the Bondi attacks, a US rabbi’s plea to the Australian government

SBS Hebrew speaks to two rabbis. Rabbi Avi Weiss is an American Open Orthodox ordained rabbi, author, teacher, lecturer and activist who led the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale in The Bronx, New York until 2015. The moment he heard about the terror attacks in Bondi, he boarded a plane to Australia straight away. Rabbi Avi was also one of the first interfaith representatives at the site when the Twin Towers fell, he was in Paris in the wake of a kosher supermarket shooting and in Buenos Aires after the bombings at the Israeli embassy. He is joined by his student and ordained rabbi Rabbi Mike Nasielski. In and amongst the sorrow, together they deliver powerful words for the Jewish community.
