Özet:This thesis aims to introduce the social, cultural and economic situation of the Jewish community of Bursa between the years 1839-1876. This study focuses on the situation of Jews in their relations with Muslims and other non-Muslims (the Greeks and Armenians) and mainly questions how they lived in the Ottoman Empire in Bursa, how their conditions were, how they sustained their lives and how the Ottoman Empire behaved towards the Jewish community in this defined period of time. In light of these questions, this thesis intends to give some information about the first Jewish settlements in Bursa and the demographic structure of the city before and during the reform period by using Ottoman archival documents and travelers’ accounts. Next, it touches upon the social organization and the leadership structure of the Jewish community and aims to show the transformation process in the leadership dynamics after the establishment of the Chief Rabbinate. In the following chapter, the thesis provides brief information about the houses, furniture, clothing and wedding ceremonies in the Jewish society of Bursa. Lastly, the thesis will examine the economic composition of the Jewish society.
