A brief video that surfaced online Wednesday captures a devastating final moment of calm before the antisemitic terror attack at Bondi Beach. 

The footage shows Rabbi Eli Schlager laying tefillin for a participant at a Hanukkah event as a 10-year-old girl, Matilda, stands nearby watching quietly. 

Minutes later, gunfire erupted. The clip has circulated widely on social media, with many calling it unbearable to watch — a snapshot of faith, innocence, and Jewish life abruptly shattered.
