Re: [Cz-L] Czernowitz Jewish diversity

The mission describes the area later called the Judenstadt.
 The market is the Alte Markt and the Ham.
  The deep descent is what became the Bahnhofstrasse.
    The shop shields are in Polish - the Galician pre Habsburg language.
   They find the Jews very ignorant.
     Is this hereditary ?

On September 28, 1839 a mission of inquiry to the Jews from the Church
of Scotland arrived to Czernowitz. The ultimate goal of the mission
was, of course, to share certain very important truths with the Jews,
but on the way the missionaries recorded their observations and a
couple of years later published a very interesting travelogue. Here is
their snapshot of the Jewish life in Czernowitz 170 years ago:
