Aftermath of Bondi Beach massacre, Bondi Beach, Sydney (Sardaka)
As we continue to celebrate Chanukah, we extend our warmest wishes to March of the Living alumni, friends, and supporters around the world.
We are living in uneasy times. The tragic events on Bondi Beach in Australia are a stark reminder that our mission, educating future generations about the consequences of unchecked hatred, is more vital than ever. We invite you to read the moving and powerful on site reflections of March of the Living Australia’s Director, Gary Samowitz, that he voiced during his visit to Bondi Beach just before Shabbat.

Yet, like the story of Chanukah, March of the Living is dedicated to bringing light into the world—uniting generations in a shared journey of Jewish identity, resilience, and pride. Among the most powerful moments of recent March history were those in which Holocaust survivors stood alongside freed hostages under the gates of Arbeit Macht Frei in Auschwitz. Just before Chanukah, they reunited to share stories of survival, faith, and the role of miracles. Read their powerful messages here.
May these moments inspire us to continue being a light unto the nations, and may the glow of our Chanukah candles serve as a beacon of hope for the entire world.
