Lecturer Andrée Aelion Brooks
Jews have been traveling back and forth across Asia, and forming communities in China, since biblical times. The three main settlements were in Kaifeng, Harbin and Shanghai. Who were these Jews? And what were their motivations for traveling so far? Some have been called «lost Jews» because, for several centuries, nobody knew they were there, at least those in Kaifeng. We will look at each one to try to understand their unique backgrounds, experiences, and incentives
