Bondi One Year On: Reclaiming Our Humanity

Almost a year from the horrendous attack at Bondi that killed 15 people and injured many more, join The Jewish Independent in reflecting not only on what and who was lost that day but also exploring what has become of Australian society since that moment.

Just under a year ago 15 people were gunned down and killed and many more injured in a horrendous terror attack at Bondi that shook the nation. As the anniversary approaches — and days before the Royal Commission hands down its findings — The Jewish Independent invites you to pause, reflect, and look forward together.

This is more than a moment of remembrance. It's a chance to ask hard questions about who we've become as a society since that day, and who we choose to be next.

Join us for a panel discussion exploring:

  • Days before the Royal Commission's findings are released — what can we do to ensure Jews feel safe in Australia?
  • Are we closer to social cohesion, or further away?
  • Can we build a society tolerant enough to hold different views without dehumanising each other — or resorting to violence?
  • What role does the media play in shaping the current climate?

This interfaith panel includes Dr Jamal Rifi AM, and SMH Editor Jordan Baker who each bring diverse perspectives to this important conversation, moderated by TJI Senior Writer Michael Visontay.

The afternoon will include live music from Nadav Kahn and Jessica Chapnik Kahn.

Supported by the State Library of NSW.

This event is presented by The Jewish Independent. The State Library of NSW is the venue for this event; however, all content is presented by TJI who should be contacted with any enquiries about the event.

Security will be present at the event.
