As New York police investigate a stabbing possibly fueled by antisemitism just days after the Bondi Beach shooting in Sydney, Australia, leaders in the Jewish community say the incidents have only worsened the fear and anxiety they already face every day.

The Australian authorities said the 24-year-old man, who had been shot by the police, woke from a coma on Tuesday afternoon.

Australian and Filipino authorities are investigating a recent trip to the southern Philippines by a father and son accused of gunning down 15 people at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

The first funeral for one of the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting has taken place in Sydney, with thousands gathering to mourn Rabbi Eli Schlanger. He was among 15 people killed when two gunmen, alleged to have been motivated by Islamic State ideology, opened fire on a festival marking the first day of Hanukkah.

Hundreds of mourners gathered in a Bondi synagogue for the funeral of Rabbi Eli Schlanger on Wednesday, a few blocks away from the beach where he was gunned down, one of the first of many services for the Hanukkah festival shooting victims.
