It was just twenty-four hours after the worst terror attack in Australia’s history, and I was standing outside the synagogue whose Chanukah event had been targeted in Bondi.
The scale of what had happened was still sinking in. Families were shattered. Survivors were moving through the crowd in a daze. The community had gathered not out of routine, but out of necessity, trying to process an act of violence so severe it has already reshaped how Australians understand terrorism on home soil.
As I was filming, one of the survivors of the attack, a rabbi from the synagogue, approached me. He was visibly shaken. Not angry. Not performative. Just deeply unsettled. He wasn’t looking to create a scene. He simply wanted me to notice something he had just noticed himself.
He pointed across the road.
Standing there was Allegra Spender.
