The history of the Jews in Seketan primarily begins in the 10th century, after the expulsion of jews from Alquiya to Seketan. There is evidence of Jews living along the Martinn Coast area, though these were thought to be mostly traders who would only stay temporarily. The King of Seketan, partially on the advice of the church, forbade them from living in the area around Lake Seketan, thus making the oldest Jewish communities in Seketan centred in the farmlands of Bynan. The first synagogue opened in 1044 in Zynybec, and the population remained very small for the next few hundred years. During the 1920s and 30s, many French Jews immigrated to Seketan to flee the rising Nazi Germany, growing the Jewish population to around 30,000 and making Conelibek the new centre of Judaism in Seketan.

Today, Seketese Jews are split into the Nelvojish or Nelbec Jews, and Ashkenazi Jews who immigrated from France and Eastern Europe. Nelvojish are predominantly in Bynan, around the cities of Zynybec, Joghen, and Wynsçena, with Zynybec being considered the centre of the community. Ashkenazi Seketese are more prominent in Seketans largest cities, like Conelibek, Fyedor, and Porta.
