The Jewish community in Kizlyar, located in the Russian Republic of Dagestan, primarily consisted of Mountain Jews, a distinct Jewish group with their own language and customs, originating from the Caucasus region. Some Ashkenazi Jews also lived in Kizlyar, and they were the ones who mostly went into exile.[1] Jews have lived in Kizlyar since the times of the Russian Empire.[2]
