Congregation of Georgian Jews, Orthodox synagogue in Forest Hills, Queens, US.
Congregation of Georgian Jews is an Orthodox synagogue in Forest Hills, Queens, serving Jewish families who moved from the Republic of Georgia to New York. Located on Yellowstone Boulevard, it functions as a place for regular prayer services and educational programs for its community.
The synagogue received financial support from Tamir Sapir, a native of Georgia who supported the community's development. Its institutional standing grew through international recognition of Georgian Jewish identity and the honoring of a significant rabbi through a postage stamp.
The congregation preserves Georgian Jewish traditions that appear in the prayers and musical performances during services. This connection to the members' roots remains woven into the daily practice of the community.
The synagogue offers active prayer services and welcomes visitors interested in learning about the community and its practices. It helps to check opening times and the religious calendar before visiting to ensure you arrive during services or programs.
When conflict erupted between Russia and Georgia in 2008, the synagogue played a role in mobilizing local support for affected Georgian communities. The building became a gathering place where people coordinated aid and showed solidarity with those impacted.
