Jewish community of old (6)

I believe the answer is:

shtetl

(Other definitions for shtetl that I've seen before include "Small Jewish town or village in Eastern Europe" , "Formerly a Jewish community in an Eastern European town" , "Jewish homes" , "Historically a Jewish village in eastern Europe" , "Former community" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
