This scholarly collection examines the origins, history, and
contemporary nature of Chinese Judaism in the community of Kaifeng.
These essays, written by a diverse, international team of
contributors, explore the culture and history of this
thousand-year-old Jewish community, whose synthesis of Chinese and
Jewish cultures helped guarantee its survival. Part I of this study
analyzes the origin and historical development of the Kaifeng
community, as well as the unique cultural synthesis it engendered.
Part II explores the contemporary nature of this Chinese Jewish
community, particularly examining the community's relationship to
Jewish organizations outside of China, the impact of Western Jewish
contact, and the tenuous nature of Jewish identity in Kaifeng.
