World's only Jewish town outside Israel?

Are we sure about this? What is the criterion --must it be 100% Jewish? Majority Jewish? There may be a few others. Historically speaking would the Jewish Autonomous Oblast be of consideration as well? It seems like a heck of a statement on its own. --Bobak 15:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

The quote was taken from here: [1] It actually appears to be true, because I don't know of any other such place currently in existence. Krasnaya Sloboda is not a town on its own, it is rather a suburb of the city of Guba. But Jews historically settled compactly there and had their own community. But it appears that the article used as a reference was edited lately. Now it reads: Just one town in the Caucasus, and perhaps the only one in Eurasia, is still known as Jewish.

If we are basing it on the pure municipal definition of town, it might be the only one at the moment (though it is about the loss the title, with the expected incorporation in 2020 of the already voter approved new Town of Palm Tree, New York in Orange County, New York), but they are at least three other incorporated areas - though as villages, not towns - with a 100% Jewish population, all of them with way bigger populations than Qırmızı Qəsəbə: the villages of New Square, New York (population 8.4k) and Kaser, New York (population 5.4k) in Rockland County, and the Village of Kiryas Joel, New York (population 23k) in Orange County NY.

Thanks for this correction. There is also Kiryas Tosh in Canada but I guess not an incorporated settlement? Jjazz76 (talk) 03:07, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Removed unsourced text

I removed this text which isn't helpful and seems based on someone's background about the subject. The source does not support the text.

The words "Red Town" with a large and red color are attractive on the way to the village. Houses with red roof, red flags ... In short, redness is a characteristic of this settlement. There are some similarities to Baku villages. Houses built along the asphalt roads are designed differently. Peaceful, intelligent and hard-working people were living with fair and serious Jewish law in the settlement for centuries. These laws are being passed from father to son, from one generation to another. Those who gain knowledge, respect for scientists, respect for parents and teachers, serious family discipline, mutual help, kindness, and loyalty to religion have played an important role in the life of every Jewish family.

According to the opinion of scientists, mountain Jews are one part of deported Jews from Israel to Iran. They have acquired the local language, afterwards reluctantly were relocated to the Caucasus. Some researchers believe that mountain Jews are actually Iranian tats and they have accepted Judaism in the VIII-X centuries during the Caspian Khagans. However, Mountain Jews relate themselves to the Caucasus period of 2500 years ago.
