Pale of Settlement: Encyclopedia II - Pale of Settlement - Life in the Pale

Life in the shtetls (villages) of the Pale of Settlement was hard and stricken by poverty.

Pale of Settlement: Encyclopedia - Jew

Jew - Usage note. Some uses of the term "Jew" are tainted by historic anti-Jewish bigotry. The correct adjectival form is "Jewish"; the use of "Jew" as an adjective (as in "Jew lawyer" rather than "Jewish lawyer") is associated with bigotry. The use of "Jew" or "jew" as a verb (as in "to jew someone down": to bargain for a lower price) is generally seen as an extremely offensive expression based on stereotypes. Even when used in a grammatically correct manner as a noun, the term "Jew" can objectify a ...

Pale of Settlement: Encyclopedia II - World ORT - The reforms of Tsar Alexander II

The reign of Tsar Alexander II (1855-81) was marked by great changes in the extensive Russian Empire, and the Jewish inhabitants were directly affected. The enlightened Tsar brought an end to serfdom and instituted wide-ranging reforms that destroyed the feudal system and encouraged capitalism. The economic reforms, while enabling a tiny percentage of Jews to become wealthy, had the opposite effect on the majority. They found themselves further marginalised by the new system, as they lost their customary employment on the great estates of th ...
