Jewish life in Astrakhan, Russia, ca. 2010
The Jews of Astrakhan, one of Russia's southernmost cities, are a culturally heterogenous entity coming from various sub-ethnic backgrounds, with roots that go back to the dawn of recorded history in the East European Plain. It was even well known to the rabbis of the Talmud, who referred to the “fine salt of Astrakhan”. In early medieval times, the city was home to the Khazars, a Turkic warrior tribe who had converted to Judaism. Some local Jews still maintain the tradition that they are descendants of the ancient Khazar converts. Under the Mongol conqueror Timur, Bukharan Jews were invited to live and trade in Astrakhan. From the 18th century, Ashkenazi merchants and army veterans from other parts of the Russian Empire began to arrive. Mountain Jews from the Caucasus settled in the 1850s along the street now called Shaumyana, which was once known as "Jewish Town." During the repressive Soviet times, Jewish life in the public sphere continued to dwindle to the point that only the city’s “Nusach Sefard” (Sephardic) synagogue was left functioning. After the fall of the USSR, the community slowly reestablished itself and is today thriving once again.
