“They came to all the houses in our
neighborhood to ask who was Jew
ish,” Ai said. “We were very afraid.
They had knives and guns.
“We did not say that, yes, we were
Jews.”
Ai and several dozen other mem
bers of seven family clans are all that
remain of a community of Chinese
Jews that flourished in Kaifeng, be
ginning around 960 A. D. They were
immigrants, apparently from India,
Central Asia or even Palestine. They
intermarried with Chinese and
blended through the generations.
They practiced their religion in
the Chinese language until their
synagogue fell into disrepair. It was
leveled in 1860.
Today Ai and other descendants
say they no longer practice the reli
gion or Jewish customs but some still
regard themselves as ethnic Jews.
“When I was four years old, I re
member being with father and
mother near the old Christian
church that we went to and my pa
rents told me we were Jews, ” said Ai,
now a grizzled and portly 73.
He sat stiffly in the tiny main room
of his mud brick hut near the site of
the former synagogue. His almond-
shaped eyes and high cheekbones
made him look more Tibetan than
the Han, the majority people in
China.
“When I was young, my grand
father wore a black cap on his head
and we did not eat pork,” Ai said,
“but now the Jews are so few here
that we dress and eat the same as the
Hans.
“Some people used to be afraid to
say they were Jews because minority
groups were oppressed before the
revolution. But not now.”
Another Kaifeng Jew, Shih Shiao
Yu, 63, is a prosperous building con
tractor. “My parents told me we
were Jews and that we could not
smoke, drink alcohol or eat pork,”
Shih said. The parents apparently
confused Moslem and Jewish restric
tions.
“Now we eat pork but I don’t drink
or smoke,” Shih said.
The Shihs live with their son,
daughter-in-law and grandson in a
new apartment.
“I have five sisters and brothers
and we all graduated from the uni
versity and the government gave us
all jobs,” the son said, “so this means
equal treatment for Jews and Hans.”
The father keeps his head shaven
to disguise his non-Chinese trait —
curly hair that is evidence of Middle
Eastern ancestry.
Neither Ai nor Shih was familiar
with the menorah, the seven-
branched candlestick of the Jewish
faith, or the sixpointed Star of David.
They said they did not practice cir
cumcision and did not know anyone
who did.
They did know Jews lived in other
countries and that the state of Israel
existed.
Research by the Jewish Publica
tion Society of America indicates
Jews probably entered China from
India and Central Asia in the 8th
Century.
Other accounts say Chinese Jews
were among the TO lost tribes or
were driven from Israel in 732 B.C.
by the conquering king of Assyria.

1163, was damaged byiooitf
