Granted, I have experienced people that do not like Jews here in America, but I just wanted to know how people in Xian would feel? Thank you!

As a foreigner teaching in Xi'an for the past year, I can say no problems at all. There is no reason I could think of that you would discuss your religion unless it was something that you wanted to talk about. Even then it would be treated with respect. The only negative comments I have heard here are against Japanese, which is quite widespread (unfortunately). So, as long as you're not Japanese/Jewish, I think you'll be fine ;)

In China Jewish people are respected in a sense. We call people good at business Chinese Jewish. Enjoy your time in Xian. If you accept and respect others, you are sure to be accepted and respected.
