Description
Summary:The article is devoted to various aspects of adaptation of the Jewish population in the European North of Russia and governmental measures in this direction. Activity of the Jewish communities in different branches of economics was encouraged by the Russian legislation which allowed living behind the Pale of Settlement to the Jews whose occupations were demanded at a labor market. Economic activities of the Jews became a sphere of cooperation with local people. The identity of Jewish diasporas was mostly supported by religion. The overwhelming majority of Jews carefully preserved their ancestors religion. The earliest infornation of the Jewish community formation comes from Arkhangelsk. The Jews serving in military divisions, and first of all, in town garrisons, as a rule became a core of Jewish communities in towns of the Russian European North. The high-grade religious life of the Jewish communities met serious difficulties: There was no systematic preparation of rabbis, there were insuperable difficulties when opening synagogues, young generations familiarity with Jewish traditions and norms of life was complicated. At the end of 1870-1890s Jewish communities began to be formed in the towns of the European North of Russia, which actively defended their rights to observe religious ceremonies and were engaged in synagogue construction. As the article shows, it was not possible to avoid various conflicts.
