Toronto Rabbi Levi Gansburg says the recent terrorist attack in Bondi Beach, Australia, has hit his family and community, warning that Canada needs to wake up to internal threats to ensure horrific anti-Semitic violence doesn’t also occur closer to home.
Gansburg’s brother-in-law’s 21-year-old nephew is fighting for his life in critical care following the Dec. 14 terrorist attack in Bondi Beach, while one of Gansburg’s rabbinical colleagues, a father of five children, was killed in the incident.
