Sketches from Jewish Life in Križevci

Ivan Peklić

Abstract

Jews arrive in Križevci from Hungary in the second half of the 18th century. They were allowed to make their living with trade, so they very often engaged in the buying up of goods at fairs. The Jewish community in Križevci was founded in 1840, and in the same year the Hevra Kadiša and the Jewish cemetery were also founded. The work expounds on the materials preserved in the Croatian State Archive – The Rules of the Jewish Society. Several versions have been preserved, and on this occasion the corrected version is being presented. (Translated by Marina Bertovic)
