In it, the rabbi made an impassioned plea regarding Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state and rising antisemitism in the country.

On Friday evening, Hanukkah candles must be lit before Shabbat begins. On Saturday night, one waits for the Havdalah service to conclude before lighting.

Israel needs to move from basing relations with the US on a concept of shared values to basing relations on Israel's value as an asset to the US.

"An attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on every Australian, and every Australian tonight will be like me, devastated on this attack on our way of life,” Albanese says after 11 murdered at Bondi Beach Hanukkah lighting event. One perpetrator named as Naveed Akram.
