A Few Considerations on the Jews in Dobrudja Province During the Ottoman Rule

Summary/Abstract: For centuries the cultural diversity of Romanian Dobrudja province has made a big impression on foreigners from all over the world. In this context, the Jewish element influenced the survival of Dobrudja’s ethnic mosaic during the Ottoman rule, also contributing to the social and economic development of the province for almost four centuries.
