How do I build Jewish Communities?!

[Vainfall]

In the cities, there's a SMALL JEWISH COMMUNITY building upgrade that provide money. HOW DO I BUILLLD THIS!

You go to your local Jewish eatery and ask them for the special. Might cost you a few sheqels though.

Sorry couldn't resist

You can't build them, they come by event and you have no control over it. They need to first get ejected from another realm.

Is there any way to encourage these events to fire?!

You have to have cities with a City Wall upgrade in your realm.

Otherwise? No.

AND SO HADRIANS WALL WAS CONSTRUCTED

This is a silly question, but do Jewish countries automatically receive Jewish communities?

What exactly are the Jewish Communities in game terms. Does it bring the loan options, instead of every country having the ability to take loans from the Jews at the start? Or is it something else?

All I know is they give tax income.

Interesting. I was talking to Zijistark last week about how ahistorical it is for HIP to have Jews set up in every county from the start, basically being the bank for the loan mechanics. They should only be in countries which historically had a Jewish populating at whatever particular bookmark. Of course, it's a low priority thing so nothing came out of it. However, this "Jewish Community" event sounds interesting. I'm new to playing CK+ so I don't know all of its features as of yet. Switching between HIP and CK+ keeps things interesting though.

Yes, the "borrow from the Jews" and "expel the Jews" decisions are only available to independent rulers who have Jewish communities (as in the building) in a city within their realm. Aside from the direct tax income from the community itself that is the main in-game effect.

I would think a jewish ruler would be able to invest(build) in jewish communities. My reasoning is that jews have needs like kosher food, synagogues, ect. A Jewish ruler would have an interest in the community growing and having what it needs.

I think being able to create Jewish communities at will might do a little to balance out the tremendous disadvantage any Jewish ruler has to start with, but would be tremendously overpowered after that...

This isn't really any different from a Christian ruler investing in churches and lent food. Rather, under Jewish rule, a Jewish community or ghetto would be not there because Jews wouldn't be likely to be confined in a specific part of the city. They'd just be a part of the normal population.

Would the moneylenders in a Jewish kingdom really be Jews? If Jewish subjects of a Jewish king aren't barred from any professions by law, wouldn't only few of them take up the stereotypical Jewish professions? For social reasons, the moneylenders in a Jewish kingdom might as well all be Italians.
