"It is a moment to pause, reflect, and affirm that hatred and violence will never define who we are."

With today, Sunday 21 December, declared by state and federal governments a Day of Reflections, western plains residents are being called on to stand in solidarity with the Jewish community.

"We invite people across the country to light a candle at 6:47pm, one week since the attack unfolded, as a quiet act of remembrance with family, friends or loved ones," said Premier Chris Minns.

"We are also asking Australians to observe a minute of silence.

"This day is about standing with the Jewish community, wrapping our arms around them, and sharing their grief as one state."

Today's Day of Reflection falls on the final full day of Chanukah, a a time traditionally associated with light, faith and resilience, making the loss felt by the Jewish community even more profound.

Flags on government buildings will be flown at half-mast as a mark of respect for the lives lost and the grief shared across the country.

The NSW Government has also partnered with Rotary to establish a dedicated fundraising appeal for the Bondi Beach attack.

The Unite for Bondi - Bondi Terror Attack Appeal will provide support to the survivors and families of those who lost their lives.

People who wish to donate can do so via rawcs.org.au

Supports are available for everyone impacted by this attack.
