Isaac Bashevis Singer
He was born near Warsaw and lived in Warsaw. Was he a Galician Jew? Xx236 11:54, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Assimilation
"In September 1939 most of Galicia passed to Soviet Ukraine. The majority of Galician Jews perished in the Holocaust. The survivors immigrated to Israel or the United States. The very few who remained in Ukraine or Poland have undergone assimilation" I disagree with this statement, although the majority of Galician Jews perished in the Holocaust and the rest immigrated, those who survived and remained in Ukraine were not completely assimilated. The intermarriage rate among Galizianers was lower than among other Soviet Jews. Also despite especially harsh Anti - Jewish persicussion in Western Ukraine by the Soviets, there was a secret praying house in Lviv and even secret Matzo production for the Passover.

I would love for someone who is knowledgeable on the subject to explain why the Galician Jews were so hated and why so many perished in the Holocaust. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.160.108.190 (talk) 10:48, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Rename
Since this article is about Galician Jews (including their culture, food, society) and not just history it ought to be renamed.Faustian (talk) 05:08, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Footnote links 6 & 7 are dead
These footnotes had referenced sections of a web site that seems to have since been redesigned for another purpose. It would be more convincing to reference a history text instead anyway\--Jelsova (talk) 12:48, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Jews by Mother Tongue
The figures listed in the article don't add up. 76% listing Polish, 17% listing German and 5% listing Ukrainian amounts to 98% of the total. I am aware of the pressure for Jews to list Polish as their Mother Tongue, however the shift among Ukrainians was relatively non-existent in the figures listed here for 1910: 92.7% listed Polish and 2.9% listed German, which means the remaining 4.4% would have listed Ukrainian. Furthermore the above listed site suggests that 15.3% of Jews listed their Mother Tongue as German in 1900 as opposed to the 17% listed here. Prussia1231 (talk) 18:08, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Suggested rename to Galician Jews
This article should parallel Lithuanian Jews, as it's more about a particular sub-ethnic group, than a "national" history topic.--Pharos (talk) 16:12, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * That would be problematic as Galicia is also Galicia (Spain). The lengthy title reflects the disambiguation. Cheers! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:13, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, but there is no such thing as a distinctive community of "Galician Jews" in Spain (and I don't believe there ever was such a historical community).--Pharos (talk) 22:21, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * A fair point. As 'List of Galician Jews' and similarly named pages already exist, I don't see any problems with it. Perhaps it would be useful to involve those who contribute to the Ashkenazi articles? I'd be happy to post a notice there if you'd like. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:27, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
