The Jewish community in Alsace is one of the oldest in Europe. It was first attested to in 1165 by Benjamin of Tudela, who wrote about a “large number of learned men” in “Astransbourg” and it is assumed that it dates back to around the year 1000. Known as a distinguished community, it had various distinct customs which were known as “Minhag Elzas”.
