I've been living and working in China for nearly 8 months now and for most of that time I haven't really enjoyed it. Life is gradually better though. I have a wonderful Chinese boyfriend and I have watched this video. I have had some unpleasant discussions with Jewish people in the West who have told me I'm not Jewish because only my father was Jewish. This is despite the fact that I am a Tay-Sachs carrier. C'mon, guys, give me a break. Well, you should have heard me whoopin' and a hollerin' when I heard that the Kaifeng Jews have patrilineal descent. Yet another reason to love China. xxx I'm definitely paying Kaifeng a visit.
As I have seen the people and culture of both countries, China and Israel, --the basic nature of both people is closely similar.. almost the same. Identity is in the soul, (not politics, nor religions).

@@zhouwu It's really strange how we're both hated. We have MANY things in common, the good and the bad it seems... But Despite our opposing geopolitic camps as you've put it, I was really happy to find out that Israel and China has a very solid connection in multiple layers, and it's getting stronger with time. I decided to learn Chinese and visit China. I hope to personally make an impact with regards to our connection, primarily through Business. I see a good future ahead my Chinese brother, and I wish both of our ancient cultures success.
Korea4Me - The problem is with the Rabbinic establishment. According to the Torah, you are part of the Nation of Israel. Just do the convertion process to move past the gate keepers and come home. We miss you and love you! Sorry for what you had to go through!!
So you tell me your are Jewish. Congratulations. Now you can join a people with an extraordinary history. However, if your mother was Chinese some would say you are not Jewish. What does it mean to be Jewish? Where I grew up it meant you went to Hebrew School, got bar mitzvah, and ate in Chinese restaurants on Sunday. From my experience, the best marriage is a Jewish husband and a Chinese wife. The girl of my dreams comes from Kaifeng and I will love her until my last breath.
I believe that the search for the 10 lost tribes of Israel should not be limited to kaifeng. During the great dynasties, foreigners were allowed to move about freely in China and the israelites being businessmen would have moved anywhere they would have felt appropriate for their business.

Kaifeng Hebrews converted to Judaism of Askenazi/Shephardic Jews, and adopted the Hexagram symbol falsely called the Star of David. The fact is that King Daud of Ysrael did not use any symbol. The Hexagram is a symbol used in several ancient cultures and in present day major religions. The pagan Hexagram symbol called the Star of David does not belong to 12 tribes of Ysrael. With growing communism in China, a good number of Kaifeng Hebrews converted to Islam to be able to continue Torah traditions of circumcision and to avoid pork eating.

+Zhang Harry Yiddish is a wonderful and fascinating language with deep, deep roots in European Jewish culture. Why would you choose to exterminate such a language? Why choose to exterminate any language? It is possible to speak more than one language - like chewing gum and walking.
@@CaldwellTO The greatest polyglot of the late 20th century spoke 26 languages. He was a Prince, the last in his line of an ancient royal house in a former Soviet republic in Central Asia. He was also a Jew, for his maternal grandmother and mother were Jewesses who married princes of the ancient royal house who just happened to be of the majority Muslim faith.
Love that even the Chinese Jews know the phrase "two Jews, three opinions"! lmaaooo
Beautiful work. I love the feeling of kindredness.
Fantastisch.

Another fascinating bit of Jewish history- A'dank, Shmuel!
The incorporation of Confucianism into their world view effectively makes it a form of folk Judaism, doesn’t it?

Yiddish really sounds like German I’ve never heard it spoken before, cool
i noticed she said "rebbe" for rabbi - mixed with her Mandarin..
Rebbe is true Hebrew word.

说句扫兴的话，一切，都是因为以色列现在是发达国家，至少感觉上，比中国好，所以他们才会向往那个隔绝了千年的“homeland"。如果以色列现在是像索马里那样的国度呢？这些人如今突然如此”虔诚“，究竟是向往自己的origin,文化，还是那个想象中的以色列？如果你们都去了以色列，去干什么，怎么生活，会不会为那个社会所接受，他们想过了吗？
