Overview

Join us as we walk through Tallinn's Old Town and draw parallels between Estonian and Jewish history, discuss Jewish heritage in Tallinn (as well as in Estonia and the region in general) from the medieval period up until the modern day. We will point out the buildings where prominent Jews lived, already during the middle ages, and what life was like for different peoples in Tallinn.

Estonia's University of Tartu was the first university in Czarist Russia to allow Jewish students attendance; in 1927 during its first independence period, Estonia was the first country in Europe to grant its Jewish citizens full cultural autonomy; Estonia was one of the few East European nations in the 1920s and 1930s where anti-Semitic newspapers and magazines did not find any success.

Jews often made a name for themselves on Tallinn, whether as bakers, craftsmen, teachers, lecturers, politicians, actors or politicians, they have left a large mark on Estonian history. Why not come and discover more?

Tallinn Old Town

Tallinn has been home to a small Jewish community since at least the 14th century. Due to a small Jewish population, the experience that many Jews had in Estonia was often rather different compared to those who lived in areas with larger Jewish communities. Despite this, Jews often made a name for themselves on Tallinn, whether as bakers, craftsmen, teachers, lecturers, politicians, actors or politicians, they have left a large mark on Estonian history, comparative to their size. But with this city having changed hands numerous time from Danish to German, Swedish to Russian, communist to nazi occupiers, the Jews have had to weather both the good times and the bad.
