History of the Jews in Russia

A long time ago, there were a group of people called Jews who lived in Russia. They had their own special culture and traditions, and they were known for their skills in things like making clothes and running businesses.

Unfortunately, not everyone in Russia liked the Jews. Some people didn't trust them or didn't think they belonged there. Over time, things got worse for the Jews. They weren't allowed to do certain jobs or go to certain schools, and sometimes they were even hurt or treated badly.

But the Jews didn't give up. They worked hard to keep their traditions and their faith alive, and they supported each other through the tough times. Eventually, as things changed in Russia, the Jews were able to have more rights and freedoms, and they continued to be an important part of Russian history and culture.
