Aaron Isaac
Aaron Isaac ((ヘブライ語:אהרון יצחק); lived 1730 - 1817) was a Jewish seal engraver and merchant in haberdashery. He came from Pommery (Swedish Pomerania), a German-speaking area then part of the Swedish Empire, during the reign of Gustav III, and was persuaded to come to Sweden where there were no seal-engravers at the time. He did this on condition that he could bring with him at least ten Jews, in order to have a ''minyan'' (quorum) for prayer. His native language was Yiddish.

It was the age of the Enlightenment, led by philosophers whose works revolutionized the social structure of Europe.

This law gave foreigners the right to practise their religion but it forbade them to proselytize and to encourage Lutherans to leave their faith." Gustav III, in a letter to his mother, the dowager queen Lovisa Ulrika, wrote, "...It is certain, that it would be highly beneficial to the country, if such a hardworking people as the Jews were to settle here..."
