Kulashi had formerly been a home to one of the largest Georgian Jewish communities, whose size has significantly decreased due to several waves of Jewish expatriation to Israel.[2] As such, it had sometimes been referred to as the "Jerusalem of Georgia". Among the prominent Jews who came from Kulashi are Ephraim Gur and businessman Merab Elashvili.[3]
