These are the words of Adonay the creator of Universe told Avraham

"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."

Gen 12:3: Vs. 12:3 bless . . . curse. Abraham's relation to Hashem was so close that to bless or curse him was, in effect, to bless or curse HaShem. See examples in 20:2-18; 21:22-34; 23:1-20. in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. This promise was fulfilled in the coming of Avraham's seed, Messiah Yeshua (Gal. 3:8, 16).

"And the scripture, foreseeing that Elohim would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the goodnews unto Avraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed." (Galatians 3:8)

Gal 3:8: Vs. 3:8 The quote is from Gen, 12:3.

Kaifeng in the time of Song Dynasty was rich and prosperous international city. Many Jews at that time chose to live in Kaifeng and first synagogue built in 1163. The Jewish community in China influenced the Chinese culture, such as Confucianism; Taoism and the Chinese classics, which had to be studied for the imperial examinations, for official appointments, and for social status. Many of our Chinese Practice and medical treatment and food have Jewish practice but people today are not aware of the origins. It was said that China today one of the only nations in the world that does not have a history of anti semetism and persecuting the Jews because of their faith and practices. Their hospitality given to Jew the History prove that Chinese much bless by the presence of the Jews. I eager to view the Chinese Jews: -Torah Scroll, but yet to view. It is known as Dao gin jiao.

	Jews in China - Kaifeng Biography of Prof. Xu Xin XU XIN, Professor of History of Jewish Culture, and Director of the Center for Jewish Studies at Nanjing University, People¡¯s Republic of China. He graduated as an English major from Nanjing University in 1977 and began to teach at the university since then. His academic career could be divided into two periods: Study on English and American literature before 1986 and study of Judaica since 1986. He became full professor in 1994 at Nanjing University. President of the China Judaic Studies Association, Editor-in-Chief and a major contributor of the Chinese edition Encyclopedia Judaica (Shanghai: The Shanghai People¡¯s Publishing House, 1993), he is author of Legends of the Chinese Jews of Kaifeng ( with Beverly Friend, Hoboken: KTAV Publishing House, Inc., 1995), Anti-Semitism: How and Why (Shanghai: Shanghai Shanlian Books, 1996), A History of Western Culture (Peking University Press, 2002), and The Jews of Kaifeng, China: History, Culture, and Religion ( KTAV Publishing House, Inc., 2003). He has also written numerous articles on Judaic topics, including studies of S.Y. Agnon, Saul Bellow, I.B. Singer, modern Hebrew literature, and surveys of Jewish communities in Shanghai, Tientsin, Harbin, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, in such publications as Foreign Literature Review, Foreign Literature Studies, Contemporary Foreign Literature, Journal of Nanjing University, Journal of Tongji University, Israeli Studies, Ariel, and Points East. From the ninth century on, there was an indigenous Jewish community in the city of Kaifeng in northeastern China. Separated by thousands of miles from the rest of the world, and largely cut off from contact with the main centers of Jewish life, the Kaifeng Jews developed a distinctive culture that was unquestionably Jewish but progressively absorbed Chinese elements. Their greatest problem was not separation from other Jews so much as the openness and tolerance of Chinese society. Intermarriages occurred frequently, and Jews were fully accepted as merchants, government officials, and neighbors. Over time, they were so completely assimilated that few of their descendants carry any memory of Jewish ancestry and physically look much like other Chinese. The story of the Kaifeng Jews is dramatic and colorful, and offers many profound lessons. It will be indispensable to anyone interested in Jewish or Chinese history. Professor Xu Xin of Nanjing University is the foremost authority today on the history and sociology of Kaifeng Jewry. He has written and lectured widely on this subject, and his first book, Legends of the Chinese Jews of Kaifeng, was an outstanding critical success.




	Shen Xiao Lan
	Chinese : two accounts of the source of Shen both deal with states named Shen; one was established early in the Zhou dynasty (1122–221 bc) while the other was established later in the Zhou dynasty. Descendants of the ruling classes adopted the state name Shen as their surname. Jewish (Ashkenazic): variant spelling of Schoen.

Shoshana Li, a descendant of the Jewish community of Kaifeng, China, recently made aliyah and married an American Jewish immigrant to Israel. The wedding was organized by the Shavei Israel organization.
