Founded in 1794 as a frontier city on the Black Sea, Odessa soon
grew to be one of Russia's busiest seaports. Settlers of all
nationalities went there to seek their fortune, among them Jews who
came to form one of the largest, wealthiest, and most culturally
fertile Jewish communities in Europe. This history of Jewish Odessa
traces the rise of that community from its foundation in 1794 to
the pogroms of 1881 that erupted after the assassination of
Alexander II. Zipperstein emphasizes Jewish acculturation: changes
in behavior, attitude, and ideology as reflected in schools,
synagogues, newspapers, and other institutions of the period. The
patterns set then affected the community's cultural development
well into the second decade of the twentieth century. More a modern
metropolis than any other Russian city with a significant Jewish
population, Odessa offers a window into the diversity of Russian
Jewish experience.
