  • A Historical Geography of Jewish Setllement in Georgia

    A Historical Geography of Jewish Setllement in Georgia

    Georgian Geographical journal 2021, Vol.1 (1) 1-17 A HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF JEWISH SETLLEMENT IN GEORGIA (THE CAUCASUS) Revaz Gachechiladze1 Abstract The presence of the Jewish population in Georgia and its peaceful coexistence with the local people has more than two millennia history. More or less systemic sources about the spatial aspects of their presence in Georgia exist only from the second half of the 19th century. The paper discusses the historical geography of the Jewish population in the 19th-20th century with the emphasis on their settlement pattern in the 1920s using for that purpose a detailed Population Census carried out in 1926. Keywords: Jews of Georgia, Georgian Jews, settlement pattern, Population Census of 1926. Introduction If someone will search the internet about "Jewish settlement" the first things that will appear on the screen will be "Jewish settlement in Palestine" or "Jewish settlements in the West Bank". But this paper’s aim is more mundane – to describe the geographical pattern of Jewish settlement in Georgia (the Caucasus) where the Jews used to live peacefully for centuries along with their neighbours of ethnic Georgian or other origins. Although being a small share of the entire population of Georgia the Jews were significant in this country's history and geography. There were several small towns and rural communities in Georgia where the Jews constituted a significant part of the population before their majority left for Israel or, to much less extent, for the USA and the EU states in the last decades of the 20th century. Although some authors touch upon the issue of the distribution of Jewish population on the territory of historical Georgia (Mamistvalishvili, 1995; Khananashvili, 2002-3; Baazova, 2007; Lerner, 2008), the issue has not been studied from a geographical point of view.

In accordance with universally recognized principles and rules of international law, they shall have the right to develop freely, without any discrimination and interference, their culture, to use their native language in private and in public. Criminal law framework Article 142 of the Criminal Code of Georgia (CCG) criminalizes any violation of equality “based on language, sex, age, citizenship, origin, place of birth or residence, financial or official position, religion or faith, social or professional affiliation, family status, health, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, political or other views”.
