Jewish Community of Armenia

The Jewish Community of Armenia was founded in 1991 by a group of activists including Gershon Burstein and William Weiner.

[1][2][3] In the 2000s, the community installed a monument commemorating the victims of both the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide in Yerevan.

[4] Armenia's only medieval Jewish cemetery in Yeghegis, previously abandoned for centuries, was cleaned up by the community and has since then become a tourist destination.

It is published monthly and contains articles in three languages: Russian, Armenian and Hebrew.

[6] Members of the community have also coauthored and published several multilingual books on the history of Armenian Jewry, including Jews in Armenia: The Middle Ages (2009) and The Jews of Noah's Land (2020).
