COMUNITATEA EVREILOR DIN CARANSEBEȘ
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF CARANSEBEȘ

Summary/Abstract: Religion, culture, traditions, language are part of the history of a community, they represent its values, which, if not known by future generations, are lost. The Jewish community in Caransebeș represents a landmark in the history of the city and, for this reason, in this paper we set out to present some of the defining aspects of Jews, regarding origin, culture, gastronomy, especially because many of them are no longer in their lives today. The Jews of Banat, especially those from Caransebeș, are fewer and fewer and we consider it important from a historical point of view (and not only) to know the past of a community that is part of the city.We tried to reveal certain aspects of the life of the Jews of Caransebes, starting from the idea that, by making them known, they will remain in the collective memory, because less and less customs have been preserved, and, in terms of lexicon, young Jews, the current generations, do not speak Yiddish, as their grandparents did, or know only a few words.
