The number of active Jewish communities in Latvia is much smaller since the Shoah.

Plus d'infosRhodes
In the fourteenth century, a Jewish community settled behind the ramparts of Rhodes erected by the knights of Saint John after their flight from the Holy Land.

In 1481, Samuel Porteira printed ...

The town of Vitoria had 300 Jews in 1290 and 900 on the eve of the expulsion -the equivalent of 6 or 7% of the total population. Their main activities were tax collecting and medicine.

The most surprising vestige of the Jewish presence is the ...
Plus d'infosCarouge
Before Jews were able to settle in Geneva, the neighboring city of Carouge (at the time part of the Kingdom of Sardinia) opened its doors to them around 1779.

Its rabbinical school was renowned, and ...
