Organising committee of Jewish pilgrimage in Tunisia cancels annual celebrations
- Country:
- Tunisia
The organising committee of a Jewish pilgrimage to Tunisia's Djerba synagogue cancelled the annual celebration due to the war in Gaza, the head of the organising committee Perez Trabelsi told Reuters on Friday. Trabelsi added that the annual pilgrimage will be reduced to limited rituals only inside the temple, and expects a very small number to arrive from France due to the tense situation in the Middle East.
"How do we celebrate when people die every day?," he said.
