This article presents a 3D scanning method used to read the inscriptions on the oldest damaged tombstones at the Jewish cemetery in Chrzanów. To date, the technique has not been used at any other Jewish cemetery in Poland. The authors discuss the techniques and methods used, how the acquired data was processed and analyzed, and what results were obtained. The work presented here is part of a broader project to inventory Jewish cemeteries in the region of Zagłębie and western Małopolska (Lesser Poland).

https://doi.org/10.4467/24500100STJ.21.012.15067Charity was an important form of social activity of women in Jewish communities in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, it was also a manifestation of female piety. Charity is also an area—despite a clear distinction between gender and related social roles—where cooperation between men and women can be observed. Women were involved in charities as community officials, associates or members of charity brotherhoods, as well as acting individually. However, their activities were always largely subordinated and overshadowed by activities of men, and acting within the framework of community structures, they were subject to the regulations and control of men. It is also noticeable that women’s charitable work was less formalized than that of men, which was probably due to the fact that women were less mobile and relied on family and neighborly contacts in their activities.
