Close Quarters Privacy And Jewish House Space In Early Modern Polish Cities, Adam Teller
Close Quarters Privacy And Jewish House Space In Early Modern Polish Cities, Adam Teller
Early Modern Workshop: Resources in Jewish History
The following texts were chosen in order to illustrate the implications of the growth in Jewish population in Poland's larger towns during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when the number of Jews grew faster than the non-Jewish authorities would allow the Jewish quarters to expand. This led to an increasing degree of crowding in the Jewish quarter as a whole as well as in individual houses. To illustrate this, some demographic data on the situation in the Jewish quarter of Poznan may be seen in the presentation.
This presentation is for the following text(s):

- Samuel Aboab's Responsum 257
- Hakham Zvi Ashkenazi's Responsum, She'elot u'Teshuvot Hakham Zvi no. 6 (1699)

In the eastern quadrant of the intersection, a church was built in 1878; nearby and adjacent to the crossroads sat a public school, which had been built sometime before 1858. The …
