Representatives from faith and community organisations and unions across Sydney have met to discuss the violence.
Police say the two families were walking home from a Jewish sabbath dinner when a group of eight men allegedly accosted them and an anti-Semitic attack ensued.
The president of the New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Board, Stepan Kerkyasharian, says there is increasing anti-Semitism in Australia.
"In the case of anti-Semitism, we seem to be getting a rise in this, and we have to confront it. We have to confront it whenever and wherever we find it."
The Sydney Alliance, which brings together community and religious organisations and union bodies, is citing similar concern.
The alliance is designed to work towards fairness and justice by breaking down the barriers of racism and violence in the community.
Chairwoman Violet Roumeliotis says the demonisation of cultural and religious groups in the community often fuels violence.
"If we continue to demonise different parts of our community, whether it's people of the Muslim community, or Jewish communities, or our asylum seekers, refugees, or even our Indigenous population, then, inevitably, that poisons domestic intercultural relations. I think that we cannot pretend to be surprised when these acts of violence are fuelled."
The victims of the Bondi attack, four men aged between their 20s and 60s, along with a 62-year-old woman, reportedly suffered facial fractures, concussion, cuts and bruising.
All were treated at hospital.
Police charged two 17-year-olds with affray and breaching bail, and a 23-year-old man was charged with affray over the incident, which occurred last Friday.
Stepan Kerkyasharian says, while laws are in place to deter racism, it is the responsibility of every member of the community to confront and deal with racism.
"Of course, if something is illegal, we must all assist the police and the judicial system to bring people to justice. But we also have to confront people if we hear them making racist remarks, if we hear them vilifying others on the basis of their race or religion. We all have a responsibility."
Ms Roumeliotis says racism continues to be a part of everyday life in Australia and long-term action must be taken to change behaviours.
She says the government must invest in long-term campaigns and programs targeting the problem.
"These issues don't disappear overnight. These behaviours, it takes time to, firstly, let people who are acting in a racist way, and vilifying, know that it is unacceptable and, as a community, we don't want it. And, secondly, for the broader community to stand up and say that we want strong regulations, you know, and laws."
