Tunis: This year’s pilgrimage to the El Ghriba synagogue in Djerba will be limited to religious rituals inside the synagogue, the head of its committee, Perez Trabelsi, said on Friday.

In a statement, a copy of which was obtained by TAP news agency, Trabelsi expressed his appreciation for the efforts made by all the authorities to ensure that religious rituals could take place in the synagogue in the best possible way.

“Tunisia and Djerba will remain a country of tolerance, coexistence and peace,” he added.
