Lol. A fn dove? 

I swear, I'm often convinced our institutional leaders are 💯% dumbass.

"The #Sydney Harbour Bridge will be lit up with a #menorah in tribute to the 15 victims of the #Bondi #terrorattack, as council makes a last minute change to the #NewYearsEve tribute.

The initial plan for the tribute, made in consultation with the #JewishBoardofDeputies, was to light up the bridge with the image of a dove and the word “peace."

That changed on Monday after more than 30 #Jewish-#Australian #creatives wrote a letter to #LordMayor #CloverMoore urging her to project a “Jewish-specific symbol” onto the bridge."

"From shuttered #eateries to vanished #bagel glory to a “#SNL#Hanukkah skit that never made it to the air, #2025 was a year of gains, losses and unexpected twists for #NewYork’s #Jewish community."

For the city’s Jews, the changes have ranged from the lofty to the ludicrous. From a tacky #menorah sketch that never aired on “#SaturdayNightLive” to multiple #kosher institutions that failed to thrive in New York’s competitive #restaurant industry, here are 12 things that New York City lost — and in other ways, won — in 2025."
