Jewish ownership of Slavic White Slaves in the Ottoman Empire

Blond, tall, with honey-colored eyes: Jewish ownership of slaves in the Ottoman Empire Hundreds of Hebrew written sources, dozens of official decrees, judicial records (sijillat), and reports of European travelers indicate that slaveholding particularly of females of Slavic origin - in Jewish households in the urban centers of the Ottoman Empire was widespread from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. This halachically and legally problematic habit was an unparalleled phenomenon in any other Jewish community in the early modem period. The presence of slaves in Jewish households effected family life in many ways. I dealt with two of them: The first is cohabitation of Jewish men with female slaves, usually non-Jewish, who in effect served as their concubines and bore them legitimate children; the second is marriage with manumitted slaves who converted to Judaism and became an integral part of the community. These phenomena attest once again to the great extent to which Jewish society and its norms and codes were influenced by Muslim urban society, and the gap between rabbinic rhetoric ideals and the dynamic daily existence of Jews from all social strata. Slavery and slaveholding has been among the most outstanding aspects of life in the various and varying Muslim societies over the centuries. As is reported by hundreds of Hebrew sources, dozens of official ordinances, documents produced by the Shari'a courts, and the reports of European travelers, slaveholding was also common among Jews in Muslim lands. The ownership of women, in particular, was widespread in Jewish households in the Ottoman Empire on the threshold of the modern era. It was certainly far more common than in Jewish communities in North Africa or Europe. What we know about this practice may now be considerably enlarged thanks to my discovery of about 100 as yet unknown documents from the seventeenth-century court registers of Hasköy, one of the quarters of Istanbul. These documents, especially as we will now study them alongside known rabbinic sources, provide information that both supports existing data and permits asking new questions. Slavery in the Ottoman Empire Research on slavery in the Ottoman Empire first concentrated on economic and legal issues; the early studies of Ehud Toledano are especially noteworthy.3 During the past 15 years, research has concentrated on the existence of various classes of slaves, their mobility from one place and one master to another, and on bonds of loyalty and patronage. Growing academic interest in the history of women and minorities has drawn the attention of scholars to the lives of the slaves themselves. The first study dealing with slavery in the Muslim world in its Jewish context was an article published by Simha Assaf in 1939, who indicated how widespread Jewish ownership of slaves was and who discussed the status of slaves under the headings of the "law of the land" and the halakhah. The first to enter the fray was Haim Gerber, followed by Ovadia Salama.6 In the mid-1990s, Ruth Lamdan wrote on Jewish slaveholding in Syria and Palestine during the sixteenth century, which addressed the institution's halachic and social aspects and focused in particular on the distress slaveholding caused the wives of owners. The documents concern female slaves almost exclusively; I found only one case concerning a male. Slavery thus seems to have been limited to those who would provide household services of the kind exclusively performed by women, including sexual ones. This helps explain why nearly all the slaves were white females, principally of Slavic origin captured during Ottoman campaigns, or by their Tatar collaborators in Eastern Europe, with only a few of other provenance - Circassian, Caucasian, Hungarian, and Austrian. Black slaves are not mentioned. Physical descriptions of female slaves remark about fair hair and light-colored eyes, although, possibly, this simply reflects the general characteristics of the captured and enslaved women; male preference, however, should not be ruled out.10 Women, too, bought slaves, but most likely the traits women sought out were domestic skills, physical strength, and an obedient nature. Beauty, for them, was no doubt for the most part irrelevant, although it may have been they considered slave owning an act of conspicuous consumption, the slave being a "beautiful object" to be shown off. No wonder, the documents speak of female slaves who were deformed and scarred. Many, if not the large majority, of the women brought from Balkan and Eastern European regions were originally Christians, and they are identified accordingly as nasraniyye, isaviyye milletinden. When religion is not specified, we may assume that at least some of the women had converted to Judaism and were given Jewish names. Others retained their Slavic or Balkan birth-names.

Victimization of inferior peoples

Jews created Islam which greatly blasphemes Jesus. They say Jesus wasn't the Messiah. They say he wasn't the Son of God. Historically, Jews have thrived in the Caliphates; I wonder why.

European travelers....riiiiiight! You mean invaders. Wait They told the world that Jews were white.. Why would White Jews Enslave White Europeans. Let's start this story from the beginning and tell it again, please no challenges I've studied history for the past 31 years, you don't want to debate trust me..

Every slave wanted to serve Jewish families, for they knew they would be treated with dignity. Jews used to buy slaves to save them in the Sabbatical Year. This is the Jewish Law since Moses. Most of those slaves bought by Jew preffered not be freed because they knew they could be recaptured by Muslims and live miserably or be set to death penalty. Furthermore, according to the Torah (Jewish Law) an indemnity must've been given to the just freed slave along with his/her right to the citzenship and integrity into the comminity.

THE FAKE JEWS ... They are those False Jews that CHRIST referred to in Revelation 2:9 & Rev. 3:9 but are in fact
KHAZARS & Prozelytes from the descendants of Attila-the-Hun's lineage.... also the descendants of HAGAR the
Canaanite slave girl to Sarah, who had Ishmael with Abraham...before Sarah had Isaac. WE the SLAVS are in fact
the real descendants of JACOB, of ISAAC & Sarah & Abraham....but the PROPHECIES speak of this in OBADIAH 10th
verse, speaking of EDOM or EDOMITES (descendants of ESAU the twin brother of JACOB, who inter-married with Khazars, and Canaanites the Ancient Arabs)... GOD will JUDGE YOU SOON ...FAKE JEWS + FOREIGN STOCK in ISRAEL, the fake
fake fake ISRAELI JEWS. Judgment soon for our Babies that you STEAL from SLAVIC lands for your Sterile couples,
and also the murder of our young people in wars that these FAKE JEWS orchestrate > in order to harvest our organs. -
The WHOLE WORLD continued to own slaves even after the fall of the Roman Empire. What is so new about this? Nothing.
Report what Jewish law requires of a slave holder: if you have two beds, the slave must have the better one. If you don't have enough food to eat, the slave must be satiated first. Slaves may not be held more than 7 years after which manumission with a two-month stipend to hold them over, including taking their wives and children with them. Sex is not permitted between Jews and gentile women by Jewish law. Unlike Muslims, Jews may not castrate their male slaves. This clip is disingenuine and intended to provoke race hatred. -
every wealthy person owns sex slaves in ancient times. Don't you people know that empires are largely slave-based?

So Whites did not make slaves out of Jews but you have to admit prior to this during the inquisition days they where torturing, raping, stealing, and doing other terrible things to them prior to this so would this not be Jews Returning The Favor For The Inquisitional Days?
-
Slaves was a norm to all nations throughout history(till 100 y. ago..)
The word "Slave" historically came from "SLAVIA" or eastern Eyuroup ..Where the villegers captured by eyuroupian christian troops & sell them to Jews , Christians, Muslims & other merchants from all over the world..
Unfurtentely till now U.N. declared slavery (modern term "traficking") as the third most important global problem.. -
You don't need to write "Slavic White Slaves" because Slavic race can be only white .
There is no Slavic black or Slavic yellow!
That is the same as if you wrote white Aryans, black Aryans or something like that. -
Maybe thats why the people living in Israel today are claiming to be jews on there mothers side. But that teaching goes against the lineage in the bible, it's always from father to son.
-
Yeah, unfortunately the so-called Jewish person who wrote this so-called report, this report was never fact checked even the slightest and no one in the real world takes anything that idiot says seriously. Except for morons like the owner of this channel.
The owner of this channel claims he has slavic origins but he doesnt he's just a silly little faggot trying to make new an weird friends.
