This article relies entirely upon a single source, which became part of the public domain recently: the unedited, nevertheless directly copy-pasted content of, the no longer available, full article in the original Jewish Encyclopedia previously at http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=479&letter=R/. The book was published between 1901–1906 when sovereign Poland did not exist following the century of Partitions and its blatant anti-Polish rhetoric by occupying powers. Webpage already edited for its controversial content is now available at http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/12943-russia/. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Please help improve this article by introducing citations to additional sources.

The history of the Jews in Poland before the 18th century covers the period of Jewish-Polish history from its origins, roughly until the political and socio-economic circumstances leading to the dismemberment of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the second half of the 18th century by the neighbouring empires (see also: Partitions of Poland).
