Schtadlan
The Shtadlan ( Hebrew שְׁתַדְּלָן, Plural: שְׁתַדְּלָנים, Štadlanīm) was the advocate of a Jewish community with the non-Jewish outside world in the 16th to 18th centuries .
tasks
This prestigious office in the community required not only command of the national language and legal knowledge, but also assertiveness and negotiating skills. The Schtadlan could ask for fees, but it could not make its activities dependent on them. The Schtadlan is considered to be a preliminary form of the later community functionary ( Parnas ).
