In the 1920s-the 30s there were a Jewish school, which was also attended by the children of Jews from neighboring villages of Malyntsi and Shilovtsi.
There were branches of various Jewish parties and organizations.
In the summer of 1941, after the occupation by German-Romanian troops, the majority of the Klishkivtsi Jews were deported to the Chernivtsi ghetto and to the camp near Kamenetz-Podolsky, where almost everyone died.
After 1944, the surviving Jews returned to Klishkivtsi. In 1945, approx. 60 Jews lived in the village.
In the late 1940s, the synagogue acted in Klishkivtsi. The rabbi was Mordechay Khazin (1918–?). On ordinary days, 20-30 people gathered for service.
In subsequent years, many Jews of Klishkivtsi moved to Chernivtsi, some went to Israel.
