The Council of Lithuanian Jews (Lithuanian Vaad) was the central representative organ
of the Jews in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
It operated for nearly one and a half centuries (1623-1764), touching all spheres of
the Jewish community’s life. It undertook important initiatives for the benefit of its
constituency at diets and dietines (legislative assemblies of the nobility), at the courts
of the King and important magnates, and in non-Jewish courts of law.
This book discusses the Council’s activities in the context of processes and
phenomena present in Jewish society of the time, illustrating the life of Lithuanian Jewry
as a separate estate guided by a common sense of identity transcending local affiliation.
Anna Michałowska-Mycielska is a historian working at the Institute of
History, Warsaw University. The subject of her studies is the history and culture of Jews
in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 16th–18th centuries.
