The Survival of Chinese Jews: The Jewish Community of Kaifeng / REVIEW: The Survival of the Chinese Jews; The Jewish Community of Kaifeng by Donald Leslie is a comprehensive look at the Chinese Jews of Kaifeng. In their long history of nearly a thousand years in China, this community has left clues as to their origins, daily life, and ultimate extinction. Leslie takes these topics in turn The merits of Leslie’s book are the detailed drawings and photos. The shortcoming is that this work was written quite some time ago so the prose is sometimes clunky, and the Chinese transliterations are in the old style, and odd to read. However Leslie’s book is overwhelming helpful. Hopefully, there is a scholar of Chinese and Jewish history out there who can take Leslie's work, update the translations, analysis their Hebrew books and Chinese inscriptions and provide a definitive work on the Jews of Kaifeng.
