Question related to Jews during Saturday night in II Rzeczypospolita

pawian:

There were many Jews, especially in the inteligentsia class, who didn`t follow the religious principle in life. They spoke Polish instead of Jiddish, lived in Polish districts, had Polish friends.
They were looked upon with contempt by other religious Jews, that`s for sure.

Do the Jews in II Rzeczypospolita during Saturday night had a right to go out and enjoy night out?

If they were orthodox religious pious people, they had to observe Sabbath. If they weren`t pious Jews, they could do what they wanted. Why?

I don`t think so. When Germans came, all Jews, whether religious or not, were treated as real.

Del boy: Do the Jews in II Rzeczypospolita during Saturday night had a right to go out and enjoy night out? What do you mean by "had a right"? The religious, moral or political sense of the word "right"?

Del boy: Do the Jews in II Rzeczypospolita during Saturday night had a right to go out and enjoy night out? On Saturday night the Sabbath is over so whether they were religious or not they could do whatever they pleased.

Jewish men, regardless of their appearance (strongly Semitic or more Nordic/Slavic) were regarded as Jews if they were circumcised. In that respect many fair-haired Jewish females could pass for Aryans with no tell-tale stigma to set them apart.

Del boy: Do the Jews in II Rzeczypospolita during Saturday night had a right to go out and enjoy night out? Do you mean Saturday night or Friday night?

afaik, Jews had the same rights as other citizens in this respect. And on Saturday night the Sabbath is over :)
