💨 Abstract

After a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration on an Australian beach, leading Jewish groups in the U.S. are urging heightened security for public events. They recommend preregistration and access control to ensure safety. Despite the threat, many rabbis and Jewish leaders are encouraging resilience and public celebration of Hanukkah. The attack, which killed at least 15 people, has sparked calls for stricter gun control in Australia and discussions on balancing security with the public practice of Judaism.
