Brockhaus-Efron Jewish Encyclopedia Mitava was formerly the residence of the Dukes of Courland, and since 1795 it has been a provincial
town in the Courland province (Doblensky district). The Jewish community arose here at the beginning of the 18th century; Jews probably
lived in M. in previous centuries, but, sharing the common fate of the Courland Jews (see Courland), they could not settle firmly; they could
only live in Doblensche Strasse. In 1730, Isaac ben Judah instituted the Hebra Kadisha, which usually marks the beginning of organized
communal life.
