[edit] documentation
Any documentation about the recently added remark about Gruzim in Austria? -- Jmabel 20:50, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)
- I wrote User:82.166.133.248 asking him if s/he could provide a source for the assertion. I've made a pretty thorough search of materials as well as a couple of google searches. My offline searches have turned up nothing, and the google searches that say that some Gruzim moved to Austria are just mirroring the assertion in wikipedia...not exactly authoritative.

[edit] research
eventually, i plan to get around to doing some research on georgia (not the state, though i might do THAT, too).
i basically know the, well, basics:
- it's in the caucasus
- it's people are called georgians
- it's language is the georgian language
not very impressive, so far...

As a Georgian Jew, I can tell you that this page is full of errors. First of all, Georgian Jews do not refer to themselves as Gruzim, nor are they referred to as Gruzim by other Georgian speakers. They call themselves Ebraelebi, or Kartveli Ebraeli. The word Gruzim itself is erroneous, and has nothing to do with the Georgian language - GRUZINI or GRUZINIM is used by Hebrew speakers to refer to Georgian Jews. It is not a Georgian word, and definitely should not be used to classify Georgian Jews. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Irawolfe99 (talk • contribs) 22 May 2006.
- I'm guessing that you know the topic better than those who've been working on it. I'd say "please, edit", but I'd also add that we'd greatly appreciate if you can provide citations, given the WP:NOR policy. - Jmabel | Talk 01:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Gruzim"
Agreed that neither the Georgian Jews themselves nor other Georgians call them "Gruzim", but isn't this the common name in Hebrew? And therefore worth mentioning? It has now been completely removed from the article except, oddly, in the phrase "the Gruzim speak the languages of the peoples surrounding them." - Jmabel | Talk 19:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- If you meet a Georgian Jews, they will be offended by this term "Gruzim." You can meet them actually at www.kartuli.com. But if you think it was unfair to remove the name, you may change it however, with help of sources. Thanks Ldingley 19:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Synagogue photo
The first photo identified as 'Tbilisi Synagogue' is in fact a bathhouse and has never served as a religious building of any kind. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.5.16.251 (talk) 03:19, 16 March 2007 (UTC).
