[quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma][quote=Anonymous]Wikipedia is not exactly an encyclopedia without errors.
'Medieval Europe' can mean several countries in several different centuries. Some sections were ruled more strictly by the church than others, some were not at all. Some places had a mix of different ethnic groups and they were not all treated equal. No central power except what some interpret as the power of the catholic church, except other parts were under islam and others by the orthodox church. Others coexisted with the existing paganism

So this is something I would really like to know more about. I know it could not be Spain as that was muslim. Italy is not really 'medieval europe', so I assume you are talking about the Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Hungary, Romania, Poland etc?
Poland did not have jews in 'medieval' times. [/quote]

I expressed my impression of where the tight-fisted Jew stereotype began.  When asked for more information, I gave what little I could, which was a quote from Wiki because it pretty much encapsulated my meager knowledge, rather than as an expert source.  If you want more knowledge, I don't purport to have it.[/quote]
So next time don't open a forum if you are just using wikipedia, just post that if someone wants to know more about judaism they should check out wikipedia! I am an orthodox jew so feel free asking anything jewish. Please be patient as I probably will not be checking often unless I see a large amount of posts ill be checking once in two days. If you are jewish please don't ask your questions here baruch hashem we have rabbis for that and if you need I can give you a site to go to.[/quote]
