Song and lyrics of Kaifeng Jews

Rabbi Josh Snyder offers, in the link below, a song of the Kaifeng Jews based on lyrics from my translation of the Neo Confucian inscriptions of 1512. This particular inscription enshrined in stone  several liturgical traditions of the Chinese Jews that were transmitted orally ever since they settled in China in biblical times. While the original Chinese text reflects the mixture of Judaism with Chinese characteristics, the accompanied song is the composers modern interpretation.
