May marks a significant chapter for Jewish life in Sweden. On 2 May 1775, King Gustav III signed a letter of protection granting Brandenburg-born Aaron Isaac (1730–1816) the right to live in Sweden as a Jew – without having to convert to Christianity.

Isaac was an immigrant who worked as a seal engraver and merchant, and the right to settle in Sweden included his family. Isaac was also granted permission to establish Sweden's first Jewish congregation. This made him the first Jewish person with the right to live and practise his religion in Sweden.

This year, Sweden celebrates 250 years of Jewish life. It's an opportunity to recognise the Jewish minority and Jewish cultural heritage in Sweden.

Here are three key historical milestones of Jewish life in Sweden:

🕍 1855: The Gothenburg Synagogue was inaugurated. It was the first synagogue visible to the public in Sweden, and it is also the country's oldest synagogue still in use. While synagogues had existed in Sweden since the 1700s, they were often discreet and not visible from the street.

🏛️ 1870: The Swedish parliament decided to grant Jewish citizens almost full civil rights, equal to those of other Swedes. At that time, the Jewish population in the country was around 3,000 people.

🕎 2000: Jews were officially recognised as one of Sweden’s five national minorities, and Yiddish as a national minority language. In Sweden, Yiddish was used in the 18th century by the first Jewish immigrants, and is now a cultural heritage language.
