SUMMARY:Shtetl Part 1: A Jewish Universe
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A shtetl is often defined as a Jewish market town located in the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and later Russian Pale of Settlement. Usually small and self-contained, shtetls were vibrant centers of Jewish life and tradition.\nThese simple definitions do not explain the importance and influence of a shtetl on Jewish life and culture. This talk will help us find our own answers to many questions about the phenomenon of a shtetl:\nWhat was so unique about the shtetl?\nWhy do some researches call it “Jewish Atlantis”?\nWhat made the life of the Jewish community in the shtetl so special?\nWhat makes a town a shtetl?\nWhat did the shtetl look like and who actually lived there?\nWere there any non-Jews in the shtetl?\nIn addition, we will discuss food, traditions, language, beliefs, jobs, community structure and other important elements of the shtetl’s everyday life.\n \nAbout Evgenia\nEvgenia Kempinski is a Russian Jew born and raised in St. Petersburg. Her family was originally from the Pale of Settlement – Poland, Ukraine and Belorussia. She has been an official St. Petersburg tour guide for over 15 years and she is the founder and owner of St.Petersburg Jewish Tours – a company offering Jewish travelers a unique experience of showcasing the best of the former Soviet Union and Scandinavia from a Jewish point of view.
