We’re being asked to light a candle tonight to honour the lives lost in Bondi and those who have been injured.

Hanukkah is the traditional Jewish festival of lights, where a candle is lit each night for 8 nights.

In response to the targeted attack on an event celebrating the first night of Hanukkah in Bondi, we’re being encouraged to light a candle and pop it in the window of our homes tonight and to post it on social media to show our support of the Jewish community.

Please remember not to leave a lit candle unattended.

It's tempting to look away when we see distressing news coverage or content on social media. Research shows indirect exposure to traumatic events can trigger mental health problems or difficulties in personal relationships, particularly for children, so a balance must be found between engaging with the news and managing anxiety.
