Thousands gathered in Sydney on Wednesday for the funeral of Rabbi Eli Schlanger, killed in the Bondi Beach shooting. He was among 15 people shot dead during a Hanukkah festival. Schlanger was known as the Bondi Rabbi and helped organise the event. Community leaders called his death an unspeakable loss. Family members spoke of his kindness and service. Political leaders and diplomats attended the funeral. Other victim funerals are planned this week, including that of a 10-year-old girl. Police said charges against the main accused may proceed after medical checks. The attack was Australia’s deadliest shooting since 1996. (PC: BBC)
