The Democratic Jewish Union (Lithuanian: Žydų demoktratinish susivienijimas, ZDS) was a political coalition in inter-war Lithuania.

History

The ZDS contested the Constituent Assembly elections in Lithuania in 1920, receiving 6.6% of the vote and winning six seats.[1] The six elected members were Rosenbaum (Zionist), Soloveitzik (Zionist), Dr. N. Rachmilewitz (Achdut-Agudat Israel), R. Abraham Popelas (Achdut-Agudat Israel), Nachman Fridman (Folkspartei) and Ozer Finkelstein (Folkspartei). After Fridman's death he was replaced in the assembly by Samuel Landau.[2]

The party did not contest the 1922 or 1923 elections, but returned in 1926, when it won three seats. However, a military coup saw the Seimas dissolved in December 1926 and no further multi-party elections were held again until the 1990s.
