SUMMARY

Jewish presence in Boeotia dates back as far as the 1st century AD. During the Byzantine era, the Jewish community of Thebes flourished culturally and financially, as the Jews distinguished themselves as silk producers and dyers. This prosperity continued into the periods of Frankish rule, Ottoman rule and well into the 19th century, when the Jewish community of Thebes ceased to exist after centuries of uninterrupted historical presence.
