Honoring Eli Schlanger A Fund for His Family

Urgent Support for the Five Children of Bondi Incident Victim Eli Schlanger

The world feels darker for the family and community who knew Rabbi Eli Schlanger. A London-born, 41 year old assistant rabbi at Chabad of Bondi, Eli was known for his boundless energy, deep love of life, and commitment to spreading joy. Just two months ago, he and his wife Chayala welcomed their fifth child, filling their home with hope. Now, that same home faces an unimaginable loss. As his cousin asks, how could a rabbi who lived to bring light and happiness have his life end this way?

We cannot undo this tragedy, but we can honor Eli’s life and values. He lived to do mitzvot good deeds and to uplift others. By supporting his wife Chayala and their five young children, we help ensure that the warmth and kindness Eli shared so freely continues to surround his family.

Every donation is a meaningful act of goodness that directly supports them as they navigate this heartbreaking new reality. Please give what you can and share this message to help keep Rabbi Eli Schlanger’s spirit of light, love, and community alive.
