4 more victims of Bondi Hanukkah attack laid to rest, including couple that tackled terrorist

Four people killed in the antisemitic terror attack in Sydney on Sunday were laid to rest Friday, including a couple who were shot dead after tackling one of the two terrorists who killed 15 people and wounded dozens at the Hanukkah candle-lighting event on Bondi Beach.

Boris and Sofia Gurman were buried at the Chevra Kadisha in Woollahra, and Edith Brutman and Boris Tetleroyd were buried at the Rookwood Cemetery in Lidcombe, according to local media.

Senior Sydney Rabbi Yehoram Ulman, whose son-in-law Rabbi Eli Schlanger was also killed in the terror attack, led all four funerals on Friday.

“Yesterday we buried a 10-year-old girl; it’s been years since I’ve seen two coffins next to each other,” said Ulman at the Gurmans’ funeral.

How many people know THEY, Boris and Sofia Gurman, died HEROES, trying to stop the murderers at Bondi Beach?! Or rather, how many people CARE that they died trying to stop a massacre of Jews?!

in people. The Gurman's were heroes, and I hope they will be remembered as such.

We care.
