Some aspects of the cultural and spiritual life of jews in Odessa as prerequisite of the national theatre

Abstract

We consider it appropriate to consider the cultural and spiritual life of the Jews of Odessa, which is directly related to the formation and development of Jewish theater art. The antiquity and strength of ties between the Ukrainian and Jewish peoples date back to the times of Kievan Rus. It can be stated that throughout the history of Judaism in Ukraine, in cultural, scientific and spiritual life, there was mutual influence and interpenetration.
