Jews formed a vibrant community during the Middle Ages, and were respected by many of the ruling leaders of the day, one of the Tsars even married a Jewish woman who later became known as Queen Theodora.The largest part of the Bulgarian Jewish community before the 15th century belonged to the Byzantine (Romaniot) Jewish rite. Only a minority spoke Bulgarian. The Romaniots had their own  customs and even maintained a special prayer book, which eventually was replaced by the Sephardi prayer book. The largest influx of Jews to the Balkans began after 1492, when they were driven away from Spain. At this poi

      Bulgaria’s Abandoned Children
      Last night I watched a documentry that made me feel incredible anger towards healthcare in Bulgaria and sympathy for the poor little “damaged” children who have to endure it. 75 children living in an orphanage treated more like animals. Actually, animals get better treatment than these little defenseless souls. They are not taught love, affection. They are simply there to be fed and to be kept clean (although the living conditions are not that great either). Many of them are in such a bad state they can’t even communicate, instead they sit on their own all day staring into oblivion rocking back and forth on their chair or banging their head against it. There are two types of people in there, the bedbound and “the walkers” (as the carers so nicely puts it). Those who are bedbound, their life is pretty much over because their independence disappears and they rely totally on the staff, more often than not, ending up in an early grave because they are simply n

However on November 2, 2006, the Bulgarian cabinet decided that foreigners in Bulgaria will be able to buy and inherit property.

      Outrageous. Shocking. It can’t happen in Germany but it did anyway. A Bulgarian woman left the competition’s behinds behind in Munich yesterday and won the coveted title of Most Beautiful Behind in the World. Butt what about Germany, you assk? Ends up that the two German contestants (four cheeks) had to take a back seat to the 28 other competing countries. A real bummer for a nation so clearly obsessed with the past, I mean, behind. And that gets us to the bottom of the problem. My haunch is that the German contestants, like so many of their compatriots out there, were too busy moralizing about the posterior to properly concentrate upon what is behind them right now. And this is what led to their early end. It all gets back to Germany’s lack of old-fashioned rearing, I assume. It’s a sad tail, but true. You know, turn the other cheek and all that?

      BULGARIA: Putin Signs Burgas-Alexandroupolis Deal into Law
      Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on Thursday to ratify a deal between Russia, Bulgaria and Greece to build a pipeline across the Balkans to send oil to Europe and the United States. President Putin announced the decision at a meeting with Semen Vainshtork, head of the Russian pipeline monopolist Transneft. The Federation Council endorsed the ratification on May 25. The deal to build the Burgas-Alexandroupolis pipeline was sealed in Athens on March 15 with Greece and Bulgaria. The 285-km-long pipeline is to be stretched via Greece and Bulgaria to ease the transportation load on the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits. The pipeline’s annual capacity of 35 million tons of oil could be further increased to 50 million tons. The project is worth an estimated €1 billion. Russia owns 51 percent in the project.

      Bulgaria's Topalov Faces Ban for Linking Kramnik to KGB
      Bulgaria's chess king Vesselin Topalov may be disqualified by FIDE for three years for violating the Code of Ethics by linking Vladimir Kramnik to the KGB in an interview for Spanish newspaper ABC. People from outside who were Russians and were far from the world of chess helped Kramnik, Topalov said in the interview. These were either amateurs or people from the secret services, he added. They were the ones who placed the Internet cable in Kramnik's toilet, he said.Topalov also said that he was afraid for his life while in Elista and that he would never go to Russia again. Nobody from Kramnik's team was involved in that, that's why they deny the whole thing, he said. Topalov suspected FIDE's president Kirsan Ilymzhinov was also involved in the plot because he was a businessman who was obeying orders because there had to be a Russian champion. For these words of Topalov Kramnik's manager Carsten Hensel lodged a claim with FIDE against the Bulgarian chess master. Hensel said he ha

      Breast Boosting Beer from Bulgaria is Big Business
      News reports out of Europe suggest that one of the biggest benefits of allowing Bulgaria to join the European Union just might be women with larger breasts. That's if you believe the hype around Boza beer.Either European men said to be flocking to buy Boza beer for their wives and girlfriends are gullible, or the company behind the brew will soon become one of the largest brewers in the world. Boza beer, made from fermented millet or wheat flour and yeast, is said to cause female consumers to grow larger breasts. Boza has become the rage among shopkeepers and bar owners in several parts of Europe now that high duties have been eliminated with Bulgaria in the EU. None of the news reports on Boza's reputed miracle qualities cite any scientific data. Boza is commonly consumed with breakfast in Bulgaria and nearby countries, which tends to make me think that what we may be dealing with here is a confirmed mass case of beer goggles.
