Judereglementet
Judereglementet was a 1782 Swedish statute containing regulations "for those of the Jewish Nation wishing to move to and settle in the Kingdom (of Sweden)" without having to convert to Lutheranism, as the law had stipulated hitherto. It enabled Jews to settle and become naturalized Swedish citizens; as long as they were in possession of a fortune. Earlier legislation banning Jews altogether was modified so as to only ban poor Jews. The minimum capital stipulated was two thousand riksdaler that included clothes, effects, household inventory, running costs, ready cash AND bills of exchange. Jews could not bring domestic servants with them, lest they smuggle beggar Jews (tiggare Judar) into the country. Jews were restricted to three cities: Stockholm, Gothenburg and Norrköping, where they were permitted to build synagogue A synagogue, ', 'house of assembly', or ', "house of prayer"; Yiddish: ''shul'', Ladino: or ' (from synagogue); or ', "community". sometimes ref ...

Antisemitism In Sweden
The Jewish community in Sweden has been prevalent since the 18th century. Today Sweden has a Jewish community of around 20,000,Specktor, Mordeca"Stockholm conference puts spotlight on Sweden's Jews" ''The American Jewish World''. Retrieved 17 December 2006 from the "Jews of Sweden", The Stockholm International Forum on the Holocaust website (26–28 January 2000). which makes it the 7th largest in the European Union. During 1933–39, some 3,000 Jews migrated to Sweden to escape persecution in Nazi Germany. Sweden was neutral during World War II, and due to this it became a place of asylum for Jews from occupied Europe. It is suggested that the reason for anti-semitism in its contemporary context is the mass migration of Muslims who have brought anti-Jewish attitudes from their countries of origin to Sweden. This anti-semitism can be seen in sporting, political and social acts, even in the post 2000 era. History Early history of Jews in Sweden Jews have been permitted to re ...

Statute

Typically, statutes command or prohibit something, or declare policy. Statutes are rules made by legislative bodies; they are distinguished from case law or precedent, which is decided by courts, and regulations issued by government agencies. Publication and organization In virtually all countries, newly enacted statutes are published and distributed so that everyone can look up the statutory law. This can be done in the form of a government gazette which may include other kinds of legal notices released by the government, or in the form of a series of books whose content is limited to legislative acts. In either form, statutes are traditionally published in chronological order based on date of enactment. A universal problem encountered by lawmakers throughout human history is how to organize published statutes. Such publications h ...
