#jewish heritage azerbaijan

Azerbaijan occupies a genuinely unusual position in the world. A Muslim-majority country of approximately 10 million people, it has maintained a Jewish community for thousands of years - the Mountain Jews, or Juhuri-speaking community, whose presence in the Caucasus predates Islam itself. This long coexistence has shaped Azerbaijani culture in ways that are visible and felt by Jewish visitors from the first day. This guide covers everything an Israeli or Jewish traveler needs to know before arriving: where to eat kosher food, where the synagogues are, which hotels are closest to the Chabad House, and how to visit the Red Village in Guba the world's largest Mountain Jewish settlement.
