History of Jewish people in commenced thousands of years ago. According to “Kartlis Tskhovreba” (Life of Kartli), a collection of Georgian chronicles, compiled in the Mid- dle Ages, the first migration of Jews and their settling in Mtskheta was in the 6th century BC. Later migration of the Jews to Georgia has taken place several times and they settled in different regions. Irrespective of certain assimilation, Georgian Jews have maintained their religion, tradi- tions and originality for many centuries. seferToris gvirgvinebi. XIX s. rimonimi - seferToris gvirgvini.

Part of these collec- tions is represented on the exhibition in the David Baazov museum of Jewish History after it’s re-establishment in 2014. Life in Diaspora during the centuries have maintained Jews identity relying on their religion. Jews named Torah “pocket mother land” and Synagogue is not only temple for praying but also the place of gathering and education center. Religious holidays have particular load and meaning for the people deprived of their mother land and indicates their permanent connection with the God and historical Promised Land. This tradition was transferred with great care from one generation to the other and includ- ed the rituals not only at the Synagogue but also at home. Given the specific charac- teristics of Judaism, Jewish culture and art was mostly of ceremonial-cult nature with highly developed decorative arts. sinagogis Sandali. XIX s. seferToris kaba. XIX s.
