Hundreds of Jewish tourists shared a Friday night meal in the Bulgarian resort town of Burgas days after five Israelis were killed in a terror attack.
The meal was hosted by Chabad rabbi Yosef Solomon, who has also been helping the wounded and their families, as well as supporting Israeli rescue workers.
Around 135,000 Israelis visited Bulgaria last year, a number that was expected only to increase, but reports in the Israeli media have suggested that some have cancelled bookings in reaction to the attack.
But Israeli Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov, who visited Sofia on Monday to meet Jewish communal leaders and Bulgarian leaders, pledged that the attack would not deter Israelis from travelling to the country.
