Probably arrived via the Silk Road under the Song dynasty, the Jews of Kaifeng built a synagogue in 1163 and formed a learned community integrated into Chinese society. Called by their neighbours 'the sect that removes the sinew', they preserved Torah scrolls and commemorative steles. Assimilation and isolation led to their decline from the nineteenth century.
