The Jewish population during the 18th century lived in small communities. These small sections of cities were called “ghettos.” Jews were separated from society and expected to be self governing, having their own social, religious, and educational institutions.

Most Jewish people lived in poverty in Europe in the 18th century, and held lower occupations. Some Jews helped rulers with their finances. They were known as “Court Jews.” The most famous Court Jew was Samuel Oppenheimer who worked for the Hapsburgs.
