"#HarperCollins #Australia will #publish Conversations with My #Rabbi: Timeless Teachings for a Fractured World, based on conversations between Rabbi #EliSchlanger and #author #NikkiGoldstein recorded before #Schlanger was killed in the #BondiBeach #terrorattack.

The book will be published simultaneously on May 26 in the #US, #UK and Australia.

Schlanger, assistant rabbi at #Chabad of #Bondi for 18 years, was killed on December 14, 2025 along with 14 others as terrorists attacked the annual #Chanukah by the Sea celebration at Bondi Beach.

#Goldstein first met Schlanger in September 2022 when she was gravely ill with pneumonia in a #Sydney ICU. Her daughter spotted Schlanger in the hallway and asked him to come pray for her.

“Standing beside her bed, he blew the #shofar and whispered ancient prayers over Nikki’s comatose body,” the publisher said. “One day later, Nikki began recovering from the life-threatening infection. The doctors called it a miracle.”

"Notwithstanding that The #AJN‘s #poll this week has found readers have little confidence in the #RoyalCommission that held its opening hearing this week, we implore our community to keep an open mind.

The heinous #terrorist attack at #BondiBeach on December 14, 2025 that left 15 dead did not happen in a vacuum; indeed, we campaigned for a Royal Commission to look into the festering environment of hate that led to it.

Some in our community have questioned the government’s motives after #PrimeMinister #AnthonyAlbanese resisted calling the inquiry for 25 days. Some have also expressed concerns the proceedings may be hijacked."

Written by my colleague, Jonathan Judaken, who shared in a public Facebook post that this piece had been accepted by Quillette (a venue he chose specifically to reach a right-leaning audience) only to have the right do what the right does - the managing editor pulled the piece, because "she said that in contrast to the argument of my article, she did think that the left were responsible for Bondi Beach." So much for "viewpoint diversity".

It is a thoughtful and precise piece that serves as "a critique of both the Right and the Left in terms of how they think about militant jihadi Islamism as part of the Left or nurtured by the Left, showing instead how this is based on a category error, since these groups from ISIS to Hamas belong squarely to the family of hard-right religiously inspired authoritarian movements, mirroring white Christian nationalists and Jewish supremacists in their animating values and positions"
