    JBN Behind the Headlines: Texas Rabbi Who Ran Into Danger To Save Wounded Bondi Cop Shares His Story

    When terror erupted during a Chanukah celebration at Bondi Beach, Australia, panic spread through the crowd. Most people ran. Rabbi Leibel Lazaroff ran toward the danger. In this extraordinary episode of JBN Behind the Headlines, we bring you the story you haven’t heard — told directly by the man who lived it. Leibel Lazaroff is a young rabbi from Texas who was in Australia when the country was rocked by one of its deadliest terror attacks. As shots rang out and chaos unfolded, Leibel spotted a police officer who had been critically wounded. Without hesitation, he tore the shirt off his own back and used it as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding, putting his own life at risk to save another. As the terrorist moved closer, Leibel found himself face to face with the attacker. Trained, licensed, and familiar with firearms, he begged the wounded officer for his gun, believing he could stop the threat before more lives were lost. Moments later, Leibel was shot. His mentor, Rabbi Eli Schlanger was murdered in the attack. Leibel survived but his journey was only beginning. Now, after eight surgeries, Leibel joins JBN from his hospital bed to recount the moments that changed his life forever. He speaks candidly about fear, faith, resilience, and what it means to stand up to evil when every instinct tells you to run. This episode also features a powerful and emotional conversation with Leibel’s mother in the United States, who describes learning that her son was caught in a terror attack on the other side of the world — and the message she believes parents and children must hear during a time when Jews are increasingly being targeted simply for who they are. This is not just a story of terror. It is a story of heroism, survival, and unshakable faith — and a reminder that even in humanity’s darkest moments, light still exists. 📰 JBN Behind the Headlines 👉 Follow and subscribe for powerful firsthand accounts, exclusive interviews, and the stories shaping the Jewish world — beyond the headlines.
