What does their future hold for them?


As many of you know, as liberal Jew, I get very frustrated with the right's dictating who is a Jew and who is not a Jew. This is going on again in China, where a community 100s of years old is fighting for its identity. Take a minute to read about what is happening to these people whose roots date back about a thousand years.

China always have this very strict policy about religion. Sooner or later, it is so sad to see this group disappear...

matiethis is a very interesting article. i had no idea there are chinese jews, who are not related to any of the survivors which fled to shanghai.
it would be interesting to learn more about their genealogy.
