From this April, the Chinese authorities have cracked down on overt Jewish ceremonies. The Jewish Passover seder, led in Hebrew by Barnaby Yeh, a Jewish Chinese American, was not allowed in Kaifeng. The Jewish center has been shuttered; foreign Jewish tour groups are not permitted to visit Kaifeng; and the Sino-Judaic Institute’s educational program has been suspended. Security forces are keeping a vigilant eye on community members and rumors claim that the authorities have removed all commemorative signage regarding the old Jewish neighborhood.
