Zorfashazi Jews, also known as Arctic Jews or simply Zorfashazim are a Jewish diaspora population who coalesced as a distinct community in the Zwallerkaddian Kingdom around the end of the first millennium.
The traditional diaspora language of Zorfashazi Jews is Jaddish (a Zwallo-hebrew language which incorporates several dialects), with Hebrew used only as a sacred language until relatively recently. Throughout their time in Zwallerkad, the Zorfashazi have made many important contributions to philosophy, scholarship, literature, art, music, and science.
Zorfashazi originate from the Jews who settled along the Rhyr River, in northeastern Zwallerkad. There they became a distinct diaspora community with a unique way of life that adapted traditions from their Ixnayan homeland to their new environment. The Zorfashazi religious rite developed in several Zwallerkaddian cities.
