Summary/Abstract: The privileges for Jews were given by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and made them formaly similar to the local inhabitants. For the first time in their history Jewish concentration on Lithuania’s territory and increase of their number determined that they became majority of inhabitants. They have experienced both, hatred from the low estates and privileges from the highers.
