Final moments captured on film of Bondi rabbi and 10-year-old girl
The video showed Rabbi Schlanger placing tefillin on a passerby, with Matilda standing nearby, just minutes before terrorists opened fire on those celebrating the first Hanukkah candle.
Chilling footage released on Wednesday captured the final moments in the lives of Rabbi Eli Schlanger, 41, and 10-year-old Matilda, who were murdered in the shooting attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney. The video showed Rabbi Schlanger placing tefillin on a passerby, with Matilda standing nearby, just minutes before terrorists opened fire on those celebrating the first Hanukkah candle.

Matilda, the youngest victim murdered in the attack, was the daughter of a family that had emigrated from Ukraine. Her aunt described her as "a brilliant and joyful child," noting that her younger sister had witnessed her murder at the beach. Rabbi Schlanger, a Britain native who had lived in Sydney for the past 18 years, left behind five children, including a recently born infant. His father-in-law, Rabbi Yehoram Ulman, eulogized him in tears, saying, "Your devotion to me knew no bounds. You were my son and my confidant, it seems impossible to get through a day without you."

The Bondi attack occurred two days ago and has been considered the deadliest shooting incident in Australia in nearly three decades. A father and son opened fire on crowds during Hanukkah celebrations, murdering 15 people and wounding dozens more. Since the incident, the victims' names have been gradually revealed.
