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 Fevilla, with Zynybec being considered the centre of the community. Ashkenazi Seketese are more prominent in Seketans largest cities, like Conelibek, Fyedor, and Porta.
Demographics
For most of Seketese Jewish history, Nelvojish Jews were the only group allowed to be in Seketan, and where almost entirely confined to the province of Bynan. These communities were concentrated in cities as farmland was not granted to them on the basis of their background, and thus inland towns like Zynybec and Joghen contained some of the first Jewish communities. The population didn't grow much during the next 700 years until the proclamation of the Nelbec Empire and the start of industrialization in Seketan. The new Empire allowed Jews to finally live around Lake Seketan, and many were pushed out of their small communities to make way for Seketese workers in the new factories and started the Nelvojish communities in cities like Fevilla and Loria. Today These two provinces, plus an incredibly small community in Giorgi Alesk, are considered the homeland of the Nelvojish.
In the 1930s, the looming Nazi government in Germany caused many Jews in France and, to a lesser extent, Eastern Europe to move to Seketan. Without any restrictions as to where they could move to in Seketan, most immigrants settled in large cities like Conelibek and Porta. Most of these new immigrants spoke French, contributing to the already ongoing Francophilia in major cities like Conelibek. Today, Ashkenazi Jews in Seketan are most concentrated in Gjenor and Ellinesa.
