From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laos
has no established
Jewish
presence, but as this
communist
country gradually opens up to foreign tourism,
Chabad
has secured permission to establish a permanent presence in
Luang Prabang
in 2006, where the young Rabbi Avraham Leitner provides meals and shelter to Jewish travelers. In all, there are only four permanent Jewish residents in the country, who serve the Israeli backpackers, tourists, and diplomats visiting
Laos
.
