 abstract={This paper discusses a habit of providing the dead with padlocks, which was widespread in the Jewish population in Central-Eastern Europe. The main source of data for this habit are archaeological examinations. Defining the origin of this rite seems problematic. The habit was discussed against the broad background of Ashkenazi funeral rites, in reference to religiously founded beliefs related to the dead and the death, as well as to popular folk beliefs, which are known from pioneering ethnographic works from the 19th and the early 20th c. An attempt at characterising this phenomenon in a multi-aspect manner was undertaken. Attention was paid to a possibility of mutual intermingling of elements of Jewish and Slavic folk culture with regard to anti-demonic and anti-epidemic remedies},
