Jewish Graveyard in Senaki

The Jewish Graveyard in Senaki is located in the village of Menji. It is in a good condition, well maintained and fenced. The cemetery is old, therefore it is difficult to read the Hebrew inscriptions on some of the tombstones. Joseph Mikhelashvili’s family is supervising the graveyard’s maintenance. Only one fence separates the Jewish and the Christian cemeteries. Jews often come from Israel to visit the graves of their ancestors.

Akhaltsikhe Jewish Graveyard

Akhaltsikhe is a multinational area in southern Georgia. The Jewish Graveyard is preserved even though there are practically no Jews left in the town. The Graveyard itself is surrounded by a high stone fence and it is under protection. There are tombs in Akhaltsikhe Graveyard that date back to the 17th century and are one of the oldest ones in Georgia.

Jewish Graveyard in Vani

The Jewish Graveyard in Vani was opened in the 19th century and is located on Otar Lortkipanidze Street. The cemetery is well maintained and Jewish inscriptions are readable. The cemetery is no longer active. Jews from Israel often visit Vani to see the graves of their ancestors.

Jewish Graveyard in Kulashi

The Jewish Graveyard in Kulashi is located on the opposite side of the Jewish Synagogues. Soviet-era Jewish tombstones of the 70s and 80s seem to repeat the tradition of Georgian tombs in regards to form and style. The inscriptions on the graves are mostly in Hebrew and Georgian. You will rarely meet solely Georgian or Hebrew texts. Over time, the shape of the tombstones has changed, the older ones were simple stone boulders, and the newer appearance is distinguished by its complexity.

Jewish Graveyard in Sachkhere

There are three Jewish Graveyards in Sachkhere, two of which are relatively old. One was active until the repatriation of Jews in the 90s. According to the legend, Jews moved to this region from Western Georgia, Kartli, in the late Middle Ages. There are still several districts left called “Uriata districts”.
The oldest cemetery is located on the road near the village of Zeda Skhvitori, Todadze Fortress. It was probably opened in the 19th century. Remains of tombstones with Jewish inscriptions have survived. The cemetery is currently closed and more or less well maintained.
The second, relatively new cemetery is in the city of Sachkhere, in the Islar district, near Stalin Street. It is fenced and well-groomed. The cemetery was active until the 90s before the Jews immigrated to Israel. People often come from Israel to visit the graves of their ancestors.
The third small Jewish graveyard in the district is located on the slope of Todadze Fortress. At some point, the cemetery was closed due to landslides. It is currently fenced. Jewish inscriptions can be seen on the tombstones.

Jewish Graveyard in Oni

There are two graveyards in Oni. One of them is located at the end of Baazov Street and the other is an older cemetery, which is located a little further away, and it is covered with plants so it is no longer even visible. The Jewish Graveyard is also interesting since it is an additional historical source for studying the history of the Jews living in Oni.

Julius L. Wiener Tombstone

Memorial to Julius Liudvikas Vyneris (Wiener, 1795-1862) was one of the most impressive in all the city cemeteries. Openwork monument of white marble reminds of an ancient Greek temple, whereas gravestone marble slab with carved text – stylobate. On the top of it, six Doric order columns with flutes stood. On the columns – entablature with a gable roof and triangular pediments, carved from a large monolithic block. Monument was surrounded by an ornate metal fence. During the destruction of the cemetery, monument was moved to the Jewish community territory; after having restored the Independence it was returned to its place.
