Summary/Abstract: The history of the ancient Jewish people is wrapped by mysticism and unknown, partly by the antiquity and partly by the circumstances Jews were in. In order to study Jewish community of today, it is necessary to get deeper into the historical records which describe in detail the history of the Jews and the conditions in which their community began and developed. Significant elements could also be found, in the rich historical archive, that could be used to answer questions that are of our interest and which motivate us to do research, and those questions are related to the possibility of survival of the religion among the nations with tendencies of their numbers decreasing. There is also the question of keeping the integrity of such communities. What is being passed from generation to generation and keeps the community together influencing the consciousness of the individual and the moral of a nation?
