- From Jewish
Encyclopedia: "Village
in the District of Grodno. In the sixteenth century Novy-Dvor had a
well-organized Jewish community, some of whose members owned farms.
Several documents show that the Jews of Novy-Dvor came in conflict, at
times, with local priests, particularly in connection with the
administration of the oath that Jews were required to take in legal
suits. Thus in 1540, the Jew Khatzka appealed from the decision of the
priest Clement, who desired him to take the solemn oath in the
synagogue, instead of the common oath, which, in the opinion of
Khatzka, the case required. From the course of the proceedings,
apparently Khatzka’s
son Simon could read the Russian documents; and that the case was
referred to Queen Bona because of the inability of the common courts to
reach a decision in the matter. 1558 census shows that the Jews held
considerable property on the streets Bazarnaya, Dvortsovaya, and
Zhidovskaya, much of the land being devoted to gardening. 1897 Jewish
population of Novy-Dvor was 500 out of a total population of 1,282."
