After another Canakkale trip…
The annual Canakkale gathering in memory of “Yosi Penso” was organized this year on November 4-6. Nearly 100 visitors went to Canakkale by busses and by private vehicles.
After arriving at the hotel in Canakkale, the visitors went to Mekor Hayim Synagogue to welcome Shabbat. On Saturday morning, following the Shabbat prayer, the visitors took a tour of the city and visited the old houses and the streets.
On the second day of the trip, following the morning prayer, the visitors visited the Jewish cemetery. Very content with the trip, the visitors have already started planning for next year’s trip.
