Several hundred people gathered in downtown Boca Raton for the annual menorah lighting to mark the fourth night of Hanukkah and honor victims of the deadly attack in Sydney, Australia. Before the celebration began, the community paused for prayers and reflection, remembering the 15 people killed and dozens more wounded in the horrific shooting at Bondi Beach during a celebration on the first night of Hanukkah. For Rabbi Ruvi New of Boca Beach Chabad, who addressed those in attendance, the tragedy is deeply personal. Two of his cousins were wounded, with one, 20 years old, still hospitalized after being shot twice. Tim Stepien/The Coastal Star
