  • Forgotten Corner an Unplanned Visit to Georgia Unearthed Signs of Vibrant Jewish Life, Even During the Communist Reign
    PRESENT TEXT AND PHOTOS BY RI A D N A I R A Questmesor ah Stalin’sForgotten Corner An unplanned visit to Georgia unearthed signs of vibrant Jewish life, even during the Communist reign. How did the “Gruzinis” of the past manage to keep a warm hold on tradition despite the chilling odds? BY Ari Greenspan and Ari Z. Zivotofsky PHOTOS Ari Greenspan f everything had gone according to plan, you would now be reading about our trip to Tu- nisia. We’d heard tantalizing anecdotes about shuls in Tunisian caves, and we wanted to see those, and other exotica, firsthand. So we did our research and mapped out a de- tailed itinerary. As an added perk, we planned to join a small film crew together with Rabbi Eliyahu Birnbaum, a dayan and world Jewish traveler, who is putting together a media series called “The Jew of the World.” It’s a program after our own hearts, a series that follows his travels to exotic communities to meet the last Jewish remnants and un- derstand their history. But then when the three bochurim were kidnapped and murdered and the Gaza war started, the Israeli foreign ministry warned us of concrete threats toward Israelis in Tunis. We were disappointed that Tunis was no longer on the agenda — at least not this summer — but we didn’t cancel our travel plans entirely. Instead, we took a spur-of-the-moment trip to Georgia, a spectacularly beautiful, tree-covered country in the former Soviet Union. Meat and Vodka Our visits to these off-the-beaten-track (at least for us) communities are often filled with surprises, and they usually teach us how little we know about world Jewry.

  • Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine
    NATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CENTER OF GEORGIA SAKPATENTI Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine OFFICIAL BULLETIN OF THE INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY SPECIAL EDITION NATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CENTER OF GEORGIA SAKPATENTI Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine TBILISI 2010 GEORGIA RUSSIAN FEDERATION ABKHAZETI SVANETI RACHA-LECHKHUMI SAMEGRELO BLAC K S E A IMERETI KARTLI GURIA KAKHETI Tbilisi SAMTSKHE- A DJ A R A -JAVAKHETI TURKEY AZERBAIJAN A R ME N I A PREFACE In Georgia, a country with rich culture of wine-growing and wine-making, the tradition of using the geographical name of the place of origin as the appellation of a wine has a long history. Although the territory of Georgia is not large, the number of these appellations is nevertheless significant. Each of them is distinguished by special characteristics, high quality and reputation, which is influenced by the unique environmental conditions of Georgia. After the entry into force of the legal framework governing the protection of appellations of origin of wines, 18 appellations of origin of Georgian wines have been registered at National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia “Sakpatenti”. The Law of Georgia “On Appellations of Origin and Geographical Indications of Goods” defines the concept of appellation of origin and geographical indication and stipulates: 1. An appellation of origin is a modern or historical name of a geographical place, region or, in exceptional cases, a name of a country (hereinafter “geographical area”), used to designate the goods: (a) originating within the given geographical area; (b) the specific quality and features of which are essentially or exclusively due to a particular geographical environment and human factors; (c) production, processing and preparation of which take place within the geographical area.

  • 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.
