The Early Modern Period
The Early Modern Period (roughly the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries) was an era marked by radical sociopolitical changes affecting Jews.
After expulsions during the Middle Ages, Jews returned to live in the Holy Roman Empire beginning in the sixteenth century. Their residency rights were governed by letters of protection issued by the ruling kaisers, kings, and princes. These letters survive as testimony to the difficult legal status of Jews in the roughly 300 German territories.

Jewish cemetery Sennfeld (Baden)
In 1882 a cemetery of the Jewish community was established near the railroad line Jagstfeld - Osterburken a few hundred meters from the village. Here the Jews from Sennfeld and the neighboring communities of Adelsheim and Korb were buried. There are 128 gravestones documented in the archives. In addition, a memorial stone was erected for the Jewish soldiers who died in the 1st World War.
Jewish cemetery Grötzingen
Jews were buried here between 1905 and 1935.
The dead of the Jewish community Grötzingen were buried first in (Bruchsal-)Obergrombach, since about 1900 on an own cemetery in the Gewann "Junge Hälden" (today within a new development area). on this cemetery ("Judengottesacker" called) 13 gravestones (area 1.08 ar) can be found.
Jewish cemetery in Bukhara (Uzbekistan)
The Jewish cemetery in Bukhara is the oldest and the largest Jewish burial ground in Uzbekistan. Here, too, Sephardic graves are mixed with the flat scones and Ashkenazic graves with vertical stones. In the last time stones with the pictures of the deceased are added - for orthodox Jews an abomination. I have not found literature on the history and occupancy of the cemetery.
Jewish FH Samarkand (Uzbekistan)
As early as the 5th century B.C., during the time of the Babylonian exile of the Jewish people, Jews migrated via Persia to Central Asia. They settled in Uzbekistan. Sephardic customs came to the country only in the 18th century through a traveling Jew. Ashkenazi Jews migrated to Uzbekistan from Germany and western Russia.
The language of Uzbek Jews is Bukharic. This dialect, mixed with Hebrew roots, was also spoken in synagogues and during ritual acts. Due to expulsion and emigration, the community in the city is small.
