Macedonian Heritage - Jewish Community of Thessaloniki (10023 words) |
 | In Thessaloniki, the presence of a Jewish community in the late Roman era is attested by the discovery of a funerary monument from the reign of Septimus Severus. |
| Thus, like the communities of the enslaved Greek people, the small Israelite communities of Thessaloniki, which were born of the tendency of the Hebrew refugees to congregate in a specific place, were able, within the framework of the Ottoman administrative system, to survive and protect their members from assimilation. |
| The friction was exacerbated by the issue of the expropriation of the extensive Jewish cemetery on behalf of the Aristotle University[58], the institution of the statutory Sunday holiday, and the anti-constitutional measure of separate electoral associations[59]. |
