summary

Aron Isaac was the first Jew permitted to permanently settle in Sweden. Until then, Jewish financiers were allowed to sojourn in Sweden temporarily to a maximum of ten years. In 1774, during the reign of the tolerant King Gustave III, Isaac, a seal engraver from Mecklenburg, arrived with a retinue consisting of his brother, their partners, and families. In 1776 a Jewish cemetery was consecrated, subsequently to be named Aronsberg (in honor of Aron Isaac). See EJ, Vol. XV, col. 545
