Jewish people have been living in the Czech Republic for more than a thousand years. Since their arrival in the 9th centrury they have formed several communities in many places in both Bohemia and Moravia. The number of Jews has never been high but it certainly does not mean their cultural influence has been insignificant. On the contrary. The Jewish community have always very carefully preserved their customs, traditions and culture and we can therefore still admire their heritage today.
