Műhely Summary JÓZSEFHUDI Jewish Youth at the Pápa Reformed College before 1848 There were 2437 students enrolled in the Pápa Reformed College between 1815-1847 and, out of them, 176 were Israelite. Most of the enrolled Jewish students came from families of traders and artisans. 61,8 % of the parents were traders, while 8,4% worked as craftsmen. The rest of the parents were doctors, surgeons, rabbis, restaurant-keepers, notaries, leaseholders. Even midwives provided their children with education. The minority of the children started their studies at the elementary school, while the majority at the grammar school. Legal education was started at the College in 1832, which attracted youth mainly from the Transdanubian region. The reception of Jewish people from Hungary, Bohemia and Moravia testifies the openness of the College. While the colleges in Debrecen and Sárospatak showed reservation, the Pápa College opened its gates before the Jewish people living in the region. Rabbi Lipót Low (1811-1875) taught Hebrew and French languages in the College for a while. 62 Acta Papensia VII (2007) 1-2.
