The Jews of Georgia: A Diverse and Ancient Community in the Caucasus

Hosted By: Qesher

Qesher presents a virtual journey to the Caucasus Mountains to explore Georgia’s unique Jewish communities, where Georgian, Yiddish, Ladino, and Jukhuri were once commonly spoken. With a 2,600-year history marked by peaceful coexistence and cultural integration, Georgian Jews developed a distinct identity within the region. Though the population has significantly declined due to emigration, the legacy of this diverse community endures.

Host

Qesher

There are Jewish communities all around the globe with their own unique history, culture, places, and most of all, people and stories. All of them different, but sharing so much. The aim of Qesher is to connect these different Jewish traditions, not just to know of each other, but to learn about each other. We believe that there is great value in creating a deeper understanding within the Jewish world and exploring Jewish experiences and identities in all their diversity.
