In the largest public Menorah celebrations in New York City, nearly 18,000 people gathered at Barclays Center Thursday night as the Brooklyn Nets hosted the Miami Heat in a game transformed into a tribute to the 15 victims murdered in Sunday's terrorist attack at a Bondi Beach Chanukah celebration in Sydney, Australia.

Eli Drizin, whose uncle, Rabbi Eli Schlanger HYD was murdered in the Bondi massacre, lit the Menorah at the Brooklyn Nets v. Miami Heat game in Barclays Center, honoring the victims of the attack.
