"Rabbi Eli Schlanger has been remembered as much more than a rabbi to his congregation in one of the first funerals held for a victim of the Bondi terror attack. In a service on Wednesday attended by friends, family, members of the Jewish community and politicians, Schlanger, 41, was described as a force who died doing what he loved best."
"Rabbi Aron Moss, who began the service, said Schlanger was more than a rabbi to his congregants. He was a loving friend to his family. He was not just another family member. He was a mentor to his colleagues and friends. The London-born rabbi was the first of 15 victims to be named following Sunday's attack on a Jewish community event to mark the first night of Hanukah in Archer Park, near Bondi beach. Schlanger was a key organiser of the Chanukah by the Sea"

Schlanger was described as a mentor, loving friend and a force in the community.
