It was a case of East meets West in the Middle East Thursday night when Shoshana Rebecca Li, a descendant of the Jewish community of Kaifeng, China, married Ami Emmanuel, a new immigrant from Florida, at Jerusalem's Great Synagogue.
"For me, to have a proper religious Jewish wedding in Israel, it is a dream come true. I am very excited," Li, 29, said prior to the ceremony.
Emmanuel, 25, said he never believed he'd marry an Asian woman until he met Li at Kibbutz Sde Eliahu's Hebrew ulpan in May.
"I had heard about the old Jewish community of China and I love Asian women, but I thought it was far-fetched. I also thought that even if I had found a Jewish Chinese woman, the rabbinate would have never approved," he said.
"I came to Israel because I am a Jew," she told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday while she was getting ready for the wedding. "I was raised knowing that I am a Jew and I made aliya because of our tradition."
The groom emigrated from Florida two years ago, after studying film.
Jews first settled in Kaifeng more than a thousand years ago, when it was an important stop on the Silk Route from China to the Mediterranean Sea. The community flourished, and numbered as many as 5,000 during the Middle Ages. But the city's last rabbi died in the first half of the 19th century, and assimilation and intermarriage eventually led to the collapse of the community. Nowadays, around 700 descendants of Jews live in Kaifeng and many of them are seeking to reclaim their Jewish identity.

5Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals."And oh almost forgot my sig,
I'm a victim of grave abuses from people in power in Singapore with access to telepathic person(s). They have friends here too. All abuses are to convince people I'm mentally ill to cover their grave evil. Telepathy is not a far off fiction. It's a fact. I've realized I'm fighting a 10 year old.
