Comparisons of Chinese and European Jewish customs, traditions, or observances do not explain the assimilation of Sephardic Chinese Jews by World War I. While a comparison would be intriguing, it goes beyond the scope of the research presented here. The purpose of my research is to examine the critical factors that explain their assimilation. Why China is the only country where the dominating culture almost completely absorbed Jewish identity is the question. My assumption is that Chinese Jewry is unique when compared with other Jewish settlements of the Diaspora. Flavius, describing the condition of Jews after the Jewish War (66-70) A.D. remarked "... yet have they constantly increased and spread themselves over almost all parts of the habitable world. They are found in the remote east, as far as China and Japan." He goes on to comment that Jews continued to increase despite persecution and expulsion. The Diaspora was so wide-ranging they went as far as China to settle. Whether Flavius's remarks include or exclude the Silk Trade Route is unclear. I plan to present four points that led to such a unique cultural process. The four issues I address are intermarriage, secular education, isolation, and the absence of bias. Within each of these points, a unique history unfolds about one unique Jewish diaspora. When considering the combination of certain points, the outcome of loss of culture becomes clear. I will summarize my findings at the conclusion of this thesis.
