   Back in the old city of Tbilisi, not far from the community's main synagogue, is the office of Rabbi Avimelech Rosenblath, a spokesperson for the Religious Congregation of Jews of Georgia.
   
   Expanding on the exile story, Rabbi Rosenblath says the ancient community was supplemented in the 19th and 20th centuries by immigration from Iran and from neighbouring Azerbaijan.He estimates there are still 20,000 Jews in Azerbaijan, mostly in the capital Baku and in Kuba, but the Georgian community doesn't have much contact with them.

   Rabbi Avimelech Rosenblath of Tbilisi's synagogue told Forum 18 that his community finds the lack of registration an inconvenience."We cannot have a community bank account, so we have to hold money in personal accounts," he told Forum 18 at his office on 3 November."If we buy furniture, for example, it means we have to take money from our personal account to go to buy it."He says his community has not been obstructed in its activity.
