Summary/Abstract: This contribution provides an insight into activities of the Jewish ethnic groups in modern age with the emphasis on cultural development in Slovakia, particularly in 17th, 18th and 19th century. Our main focus is on important milestones of this community as we would like to understand the con-text of collective influence of Jewish culture in Slovakia in the present day. We also point out the distinctiveness of Jewish activities which were a significant factor with regard to the life of the whole Slovak society of that time.
