Abstract
This chapter briefly describes the emergence of the <italic>ḥevrah kadisha</italic> in eastern Europe within the general development of Jewish autonomy in early modern Europe and then shows how and why burial societies preserved their autonomy and their key position in the Jewish community far into the nineteenth century. To discuss this development, the chapter examines the case of the burial society in Praga, opposite Warsaw, on the eastern bank of the river Vistula. Unlike many other <italic>ḥevrot kadisha</italic>, this society was only founded in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. Though the original <italic>pinkas</italic> of the burial society, which was kept from 1785 to 1870, has not survived. It was copied and provided with a Polish translation by H. Kirszenbaum and A. Fajner in 1911 and is kept today in the Central Archives of the History of the Jewish People in Jerusalem, together with the much shorter <italic>pinkas</italic> from Warsaw from 1875 to 1905.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
