Rina Sazna

Rina Sazna, a 55-year-old resident, narrowly escaped a recent antisemitic shooting attack in Sydney, Australia, due to a slight delay in finding parking. She and her family were approaching a festive gathering when they heard gunfire, which she initially mistook for fireworks. Quick thinking from her daughter alerted them to the danger, allowing them to flee to safety. Rina, who moved to Australia for love and has deep ties to the local Jewish community, shared her concerns about rising antisemitism, especially following the events of October 7, and expressed a desire to eventually return to Israel.
