From the REITICH Foundation, we express our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to all victims of senseless violence.

We share the grief of the families affected by the Bondi Beach massacre, as well as the victims of the New York massacre, the Amsterdam massacre, and all those people who today suffer the consequences of antisemitism, hatred, and the violence spreading against the Jewish people and against communities that defend the values of life, family, coexistence, and human dignity.

We condemn all forms of violence, discrimination, and persecution. We mourn every life lost, without distinction, and we reaffirm our commitment to a world where diversity, faith, culture, and values can coexist without fear. A world where no celebration ends in bloodshed, and where no child has to grow up bearing an absence caused by hatred.

Know that you are not alone. There are hearts around the world that quietly embrace you today, wishing that love be stronger than terror, and that the light—even if it seems fragile today—continues to break through.

May the memory of those who departed be a refuge and a guide. May the pain not extinguish hope. And may humanity remember that life must always be sacred.

With deep respect, sincere solidarity, and a commitment to peace,

Blood and death at the millennial festival of Light are unacceptable. Chag Sameach! Happy Hanukkah…
