Ryshkany developed into an urban community during the 19th century as a result of the large Jewish settlement in the region at that time. In 1897 there were 2,247 Jews (69% of the total population) in the town, and in 1930 there were 2,055 (66% of the total). In the 1930s the communal institutions included a kindergarten and an elementary school, both maintained by the Tarbut organization. The community was destroyed when the Germans and Rumanians entered Pridnestrovie in July 1941, although in 1970 the Jewish population was still estimated at about 150 families.
