Georgian Jews

Georgian Jews (Georgian: ქართველი ებრაელები, romanized: kartveli ebraelebi, Hebrew: יהודי גאורגיה, romanized: Yehudei Georgia) are a community of Jews who are thought to have migrated into Georgia during the Babylonian captivity in the 6th century BCE. It is one of the oldest communities in the region. As a result of a major emigration wave in the 1990s, the vast majority of Georgian Jews now live in Israel, with the world's largest community living in the city of Ashdod, although many also live in the United States.
