Armenia’s Vanishing Jewish Community
Every day, Rabbi Gershon Burstein, 56, opens the door of Armenia’s only synagogue and waits for the faithful to enter. They very rarely do so.
Though believed to date back centuries, Armenia’s Jewish community – roughly estimated to number anywhere from 500 to 2,000 people – can be easily overlooked. Amidst economic collapse and war with Azerbaijan, an indeterminate number of Jews emigrated to Israel during the early 1990s, and many of those who remain do not observe Jewish religious practices, community members say.
Indeed, so few Jewish Armenians now attend the country’s sole synagogue, located on a lane in downtown Yerevan, the Armenian capital, that worship services occur only a couple of times a year. If at least 10 Jewish males over the age of 13 are not present in the three-storey building on off Nar-Dos Street, a service cannot occur.

Jews in Armenia Documentary Film Clip: www.jinafilm.net
Documenting for the first time the existence of the Jewish community in Armenia, the film presents a journey never taken before. While breaking many myths about the relations between Jews and Armenians and discovering many new realities from the past and the present, the film looks at the traces of a 13th century Jewish community of Armenia; listens to the story of perseverance of a tiny, yet devoted group of Subbotniks living on the shores of Lake Sevan; and follows the personal journeys of the younger generations of Jews of Armenia. It is a story about the harmonious and sincere coexistence of two cultures, who at times, had to find refuge in each other's lands. Visit the documentary film site at jinafilm.net
The aim of this film is to investigate, present, raise questions, and attract attention to the cultural, social, and identity issues that are experienced by the members of the Jewish community of Armenia. It is a search to discover whether Armenia is a unique place for a Jew, whether there, in fact, are Jewish Armenians or, Armenian Jews...?
The film is intended to aid in laying the grounds for theoretical reflection and analysis. Its purpose is to explore the magic, the mystery that surrounds Jewish-Armenian relations, perhaps it being a phenomenon that is sustained by two strong identities and self-confidence in their own ethno-religious groups—culminating in survival, tolerance, coexistence.
The aim of this project is not to make claims or prescribe identities. It aspires to understand the peculiarities of Jewish and Armenian cultures, their religions, and faiths. It attempts to visualize and verbalize the phenomenon of being Armenian and Jewish—together. It is hoped that this film will kindle interest for further study and discovery.
Jews in Armenia: The Hidden Diaspora was shot in the summer of 2001 in Armenia, Israel, and the US and premiered in New York City in June of 2002.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.

The New Jewish Cemetery was founded in 1800 on grounds purchased by the Jewish Qahal from the Augustinians. It was enlarged in 1836 with additional land purchased from the monks. Following the return to independence, the New Cemetery became nearly full.[3] From 1932 on, burials were directed to a new plot bought in 1926 by the Qahal along Abrahama Street and the one at nearby Jerozolimska Street, both in the Wola Duchacka neighborhood (now part of Podgórze district). These two other cemeteries formed the site of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp during the Holocaust and no longer exist.[4] The Jews from the Kraków Ghetto were sent there
Armenia Fund: Artsakh’s Youth Power
(English-language video. For the Armenian version, visit
In early April 2016, Azerbaijan launched an unprovoked surprise attack on Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh Republic – NKR), causing widespread destruction and claiming many lives, including civilians. Yet the NKR Defense Army mounted a fierce defense, swiftly repelling the invasion.
The video features interviews with Artsakh youths, as well as a 96-year-old war veteran, who speak of the fighting spirit of their homeland and the bravery of Armenian soldiers.
