Description
This dissertation examines the transmission of Sino-Judaic cultural identity in Kaifeng in its historical and contemporary forms. Validating the Kaifeng Jews’ authenticity claims, it suggests that their distinct, translated heritage has contributed significantly to both Diasporic and Chinese histories.
Moshe Y. Bernstein, a US native, came to Australia in 1993 after an extensive course of rabbinic studies in Israel. Serving as an educator in local schools, he also lectured to the general public on a range of Jewish themes. In 2008 he embarked on a degree in Chinese, later producing his thesis on the Kaifeng Jews. He has published several articles and presented at international conferences.
