Draft:History of the Jews in Georgia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The History of the Jews in Georgia primarily encompasses the history of the Georgian Jews (Georgian: ქართველი ებრაელები, romanized: kartveli ebraelebi), a community of Jews who migrated to Georgia during the Babylonian captivity in the 6th century BCE.[1] It is one of the oldest communities in the region. In addition to Georgian Jews, the country also has a population of Ashkenazi Jews who arrived following the Russian annexation of Georgia.
