Zorfashazi Jews, also known as Eastern Jews or simply Zorfashazim are a Jewish diaspora population who coalesced as a distinct community in Corumm in the 17th century.
The traditional diaspora language of Zorfashazi Jews is Jaddish (a hebrew language which incorporates several dialects), with Hebrew used only as a sacred language until relatively recently. Throughout their time in Corumm, the Zorfashazi have made many important contributions to philosophy, scholarship, literature, art, music, and science.
Zorfashazi originate from the Jewish refugees from Audonia who were taken in by the Qian dynasty and settled in the Pachin valley, in central Corumm . There they became a distinct diaspora community with a unique way of life that adapted traditions from their homeland to their new environment. The Zorfashazi religious community enjoyed imperial protection and developed in several Corummese towns within Pachin. The city of Dom Dode is the principal center of the community and houses the largest synagogue in the country.
