A young Texan rabbi who was critically injured in the Bondi terror attack has been pictured smiling and giving a thumbs up in a brave display from his hospital bed.

Rabbi Leibel Lazaroff, 20, was shot in the abdomen and thigh while volunteering at the Chanukah by the Sea celebration at Bondi’s Archer Park on December 14.

Rabbi Lazaroff had arrived in Sydney in September to learn from fellow Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who coordinated the celebration.

Rabbi Schlanger, 41, was shot dead in the massacre.

Federal Social Services Minister Tanya Plibersek visited the American in hospital and shared a photo.

His parents flew from the US after the attack.

Ten patients remain in hospitals across Sydney.

That includes police constable Scott Dyson, who Lazaroff rushed to help when he was shot.

“In the chaos, [Lazaroff] rushed to help a critically wounded Australian police officer, using his own shirt to stem the bleeding,” Plibersek said in her post.

“It was one of many acts of bravery that showed us the best of humanity that day.”

Another young policeman who was shot and blinded from the Bondi terror attack was pictured at home just before Christmas, after nearly two weeks in hospital.

Probationary Constable Jack Hibbert was visited by Sydney Roosters captain James Tedesco a gifted a signed Redcliffe Dolphins jersey, NSW Police said.

Constable Hibbert was just four months into the job, when he was critically injured while patrolling the Hannukah event.

In an update issued by NSW Health,;

  • One patient is in a stable condition at Prince of Wales Hospital.
  • One patient is in a critical but stable condition and one patient is in a stable condition at St George Hospital.
  • One patient is in a critical condition, two patients are in a critical but stable condition and one patient is in a stable condition at St Vincent’s Hospital.
  • Three patients are in a stable condition at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
