Georgia is home to one of the world's oldest Jewish communities in the Diaspora, believed to have arrived in the country after the destruction of the First Temple in 586 BCE.


Georgia's Jews are said to have been among those present at the crucifixion of Jesus, and it's also believed that Georgia's Christian Kings are descendants of King David.
