The Rosh Hashanah dinner scheduled for Friday evening at the Chabad House in Phuket, Thailand, has been canceled following a request from security officials.

The cancellation is believed to stem from concerns that pro-Palestinian groups could attempt to stage a confrontation with Israelis at the site.

“Dear guests, due to a request from Israeli security officials, we deeply regret that we must cancel the event," organizers told those planning to attend. “Please do not approach the area. The protesters may become violent, and it could be dangerous. If you know of other travelers who were planning to attend, please pass this message along."

The Chabad House said that all other Rosh Hashanah prayers and festive meals scheduled from Saturday onward are expected to take place as usual.The Rosh Hashanah dinner scheduled for Friday evening at the Chabad House in Phuket, Thailand, has been canceled following a request from security officials.
