The history of Jews in Finland is relatively recent, as Jews were not allowed to settle in the country until the early 19th century. The first Jews to arrive were Russian soldiers (known as "cantonists") who were granted permission to stay in Finland after completing their military service. Subsequently, other Jews immigrated to Finland from various parts of Europe, primarily during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite facing some discrimination and restrictions, the Jewish community in Finland gradually grew and became integrated into Finnish society.
 
During World War II, Finland's policy towards Jews was complex and contradictory. While the Finnish government refused to deport Jews to Nazi Germany, some individual Jews were persecuted and suffered hardships. After the war, the Jewish community in Finland experienced a period of decline due to emigration to Israel and assimilation into Finnish society. However, in recent years, the community has been revitalized through immigration from the former Soviet Union and increased interfaith dialogue. Today, the Jewish community in Finland is small but vibrant, and its members are actively involved in various aspects of Finnish society.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "History of the Jews in Finland," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Finland, accessed 25 September 2024.</ref><ref>"Short History of the Finnish Jewry," Jewish Community of Helsinki, https://jchelsinki.fi/en/about-us/short-history-of-the-finnish-jewry/, accessed 25 September 2024.</ref><ref>"Community in Finland," World Jewish Congress, https://www.worldjewishcongress.org/en/about/communities/FI, accessed 25 September 2024.</ref><ref>"Finland," Jewish Heritage Europe, https://jewish-heritage-europe.eu/finland/, accessed 25 September 2024.</ref><ref>Finland Virtual Jewish History Tour. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/finland-virtual-jewish-history-tour, accessed 25 September 2024.</ref>
