Chairman's Welcome

The history of Jews of the Jewish communities in China would have been incomplete were it not its Post Scriptum: The story and the activity of Igud Yotzei Sin - association of former residents of China in Israel is a unique phenomenon. It is unique amongst dozens of other landsmanschaft organizatons of Jews coming to Israel from all over the world. It is unique because Igud Yotzei Sin maintains in Israel, and in other countries, a vibrant and active organization that binds the traditions of the past with present the present needs of the community and continues the traditions established in China. 

It is true that the first chapters of the history of the former Jewish communities of China were written relatively recently-just over a century - but Igud Yotzei Sin ensures that the history continues to be written to the present day.

It is of utter importance that Jews - former residents of China and their descendants all over the world, and all those interested in our activities should know about this many-faceted effort of Igud Yotzei Sin.

To achieve this goal we have established a website dedicated to preserving the past history (of the modern age) and at the same time a repository of records of current activites and a place where surfers can access historical data and all this in addtion to the Bulletin that continues to be published regularly.

Theodore Kaufman, Chairman.
