synagogue
Kutaisi used to have one of Georgia's largest Jewish communities but since independence most of the 1000 or so families have emigrated to Israel. A handsome 1880s synagogue in the old Jewish district is still in use, but the smaller synagogue (Gaponov 49) further up the street is now disused.
