Representatives of the Jewish community in Bulgaria presented President Rumen Radev with candles for Hanukkah - the holiday of light. The President reiterated Bulgaria's position, strongly condemning the terrorist attacks against Israel, which resulted in numerous victims and the taking of hostages. Radev expressed hope for the soonest possible cessation of hostilities, in which innocent people die, as well as for the achievement of a lasting and just peace.
The last 9th candle of Hanukkah will be solemnly lit in the Sofia Synagogue on December 14. The Holiday of Lights celebrates the liberation of Israel from domination by the Syrian Seleucid empire and commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
