Meaning if they wanted to borrow 10 thousand dollars from the bank, they had to pay 1 thousand to the bank.]]> 2021-06-09 23:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597038484 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597043621 In Venice, the Jews had many jobs such as shoe making, merchants, and money lenders.]]> 2021-06-09 23:22:48 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597043621 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597045622 There are many reasons why jobs in Venice were harder for the Jews than the normal Italian non-Jew. First of all if you were Jewish and ran a store, many people would refuse to shop at that store just because your Jewish. This made it hard to get customers. Another reason why it was hard is that the government put special taxes on merchants and money lenders, that they had to pay 5% on all their import and export transactions.]]> 2021-06-09 23:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597045622 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597050827 Another restriction put on the Jews by the government of Venice, was that they had to pay an annual tax of four thousand ducats.

They were a little anti-Semitic but it was the government that was the most anti-Semitic, not the people. In fact, Venice people were less anti-Semitic that many other European countries at the time.]]> 2021-06-09 23:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597057109 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597059971 For example England. England back then did not even allow Jews to step foot in England.
This shows us how much worse antisemitism was in some countries like England.]]> 2021-06-09 23:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597059971 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597071576 2021-06-09 23:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597071576 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597074658 In Venice, Jews WERE allowed to perform some Jewish practices such as: Brit Milah, Limud Torah, and even the Havdalah. BUT! Don't think that the Jews were allowed to go out in the streets shouting עם ישראל חי! over and over on Shavuot with a torah in the hand. The Jews had many restrictions that didn't allow them to do many simple Jewish mitzvot.]]> 2021-06-09 23:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597074658 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597082779 Some years were great for the Jews in Venice, and some were miserable. It all depended on the restrictions and laws that the government decided to put on the Jews in that specific time.]]> 2021-06-09 23:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597082779 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597084876 Absolutely not, one of the main reasons why I don't think the Jews should move to Venice is because of the Ghettos. At some point in time the government decided to send all the Jews into the ghetto. The ghetto was a miserable place to live, and had little food, it had tons of diseases, and it had little space.]]> 2021-06-09 23:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597084876 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597088562 2021-06-09 23:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597088562 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597090753 2021-06-09 23:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597090753 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597099248 2021-06-10 00:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597099248 yoelwiengarten https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597101239 2021-06-10 00:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/yoelwiengarten/bn6xpd01yp0l3f2v/wish/1597101239
