Zanavi

The fall of Jerusalem happened in 586 BC and this is the time when Jewish refugees came into Kartli. It should be pointed out that these immigrants asked the governor for permission to inhabit the area, for which they would pay an appropriate amount. The governor of Mstkheta gave a helping hand to the refugees and allocated an area of River Aragvi for them, which was called Zanavi. Later these Jews moved to different towns and cities.
