Uzhgorod airport received a charter plane from Israel

The plane landed with pilgrims on board. 
Every year, Hasidim come to Transcarpathia to visit the grave and honor the memory of one of the spiritual leaders of the Jewish community, who is buried in the Jewish cemetery near the synagogue in Bushtyno, Tyachiv district. It is a common custom among Jews to visit the graves of spiritual leaders around the world.
