Abstract: The article deals with the ways of treating a series of direct religious interdictions which were developed in traditional Jewish culture. For the founders of Jewish religious teaching it was obvious that in real life the law often came into conflict with the people’s customs and traditions which were accepted in those areas where Jews live to this day. The author examines cases of clashes between customs and the law in material from the traditional culture of Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern Europe in the 20th century. The article includes field material from expeditions carried out in 2000–2010 on the territory of former Jewish towns in Eastern Europe: in West Ukraine and Moldavia. The main systems of rules about the breaking of rules which have formed in traditional Jewish culture are more or less identical to universal ways of circumventing interdictions and prescripts: constructing a symbolic perfect tense, changing the status of an object and ritual exchange. Clear parallels to universal ways of circumventing interdictions and prescripts can be found in the people’s everyday practices connected to the arrangement of one’s home, the funeral rites cycle, and protection from unclean powers

Abstract: The close relationship between Eastern European Jews and non-Jewish Slavs influenced the religious practices and beliefs of both nations. One example of this is the practice of the Slavic people visiting the synagogue and Jewish cemetery in Chernovitz as well as the attitude of the Jewish population to this. The article is based on field material recorded between 2004–2009.
