Thousands of people held a vigil at Sydney's Bondi Beach on Thursday night to honor the victims of last week's targeted attack.
The gathering coincided with the final night of Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights. Attendees lit candles in memory of those killed and injured.
The attack occurred one week earlier at a Bondi shopping center. A man stabbed multiple people before police shot and killed him. Six people died, including the attacker. Several others were injured.
The vigil was a public show of solidarity with the victims' families and the local Jewish community. Leaders from multiple faiths and community groups attended.
No speeches were made. The crowd observed a moment of silence, followed by singing.
