About Shklov

Shklov, a town on the Dnieper in eastern Belarus, was a major Jewish commercial center in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with an important yeshiva and one of the largest Hebrew printing operations in the Russian Empire; it was also a center of the early Haskalah. Rabbi Israel of Shklov, a leading disciple of the Vilna Gaon, led the Perushim who emigrated to the Land of Israel, departing from Shklov.
