    During Russia's August 2008 invasion of Georgia, U.S. Representative Anthony Weiner called an emergency meeting at the Congregation of Georgian Jews for New York's Georgian community, both Christian and Jewish. The Orthodox congregation on Yellowstone Boulevard is made up mostly of immigrants who came from Georgia in the late twentieth century, and its building was paid for by a donation from the philanthropist Tamir Sapir.
