Abstract [eng] The strategies for shaping relations between minorities analysed in the previous chapter indicated the desire to use ties with the dominant ethnic group in order to ensure a safe position in a multi-ethnic society, also in opposition to other minorities. Obtaining favourable relations with the dominant ethnic group in the political community, especially its elite, was of key importance for the minorities living in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL). Therefore, in this chapter, I would like to present one of the communication mechanisms for establishing and strengthening this type of relationship between the Jewish community and the Christian elite in the GDL.
