Re: [ha-Safran] THE JEWS OF CHINA [???]

Is this the book you're looking for? 

The Jews of Kaifeng, China: History, Culture, and Religion, 
by Xu Xin. 

I had the pleasure of traveling to Kaifeng with Mr. Xu a few years back to meet 
indigenous Chinese people who claim to be descendants of the Jews of China 
whose history goes back to about the 12th century. He holds the equivalent of 
the Chair of Judaica at Nanjing University, and he periodically plans symposia 
on Jewish cultural matters for Chinese professors across the country. A most 
interesting gentleman!

 Hey, campers, how's summer treating you all?
  The book for which I am looking would have a title along the lines of THE
  JEWS OF CHINA.
 

 How's about an excellant free course given by COURSERA?

 It's terrific.-

 As for my annual beg-a-thon:
 If you happen to see a free-bee calendar for 5776, do think about sending it

I need your help in looking for a book which may not exist.

A friend has a great deal of expertise on China and a solid knowledge of 
Judaism. This person apparently does not know about the intersect between these 
two.

The book for which I am looking would have a title along the lines of THE JEWS 
OF CHINA.

Can you recommend such a book?

Re: [ha-Safran] THE JEWS OF CHINA

2015-07-19 Thread Altschiller, Donald S
Dear Prof. Weinshank,

  Prof. Jonathan Goldstein has written two books on the Jews of China.   
Please check out this bibliography 
http://www2.kenyon.edu/Depts/Religion/Fac/Adler/Reln270/Judaism/bibliography.htm
for a full citation of his titles and a list of other works on Jews in China.  
(The bibliography was compiled by a Kenyon College faculty member.)   You might 
also look at the Sino-Judaic Institutehttp://www.sino-judaic.org/ site which 
contains much fascinating information on both Jews in China and also in Asia.

Hope these sites are helpful!

Kol Tuv,

Donald
