Historically, a Jewish village in eastern Europe (6)
I believe the answer is:
shtetl
'historically a jewish village in eastern europe' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for shtetl that I've seen before include "Old Jewish community in East European town" , "Small Jewish town or village in Eastern Europe" , "Jewish homes" , "Former Jewish town in Eastern Europe" , "Formerly a Jewish community in an Eastern European town" .)
