 Yemenite Jews - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yemenite Jews (תֵּימָנִי, Standard Hebrew Temani, Tiberian Hebrew Têmānî; plural תֵּימָנִים, Standard Hebrew Temanim, Tiberian Hebrew Têmānîm) are those Jews who live, or whose recent ancestors lived, in Yemen (תֵּימָן "far south", Standard Hebrew Teman, Tiberian Hebrew Têmān), on the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula.
From the 1200s to the 1600s, the hardship of Yemenite Muslim rule was brought to a temporary halt by the Rasulides, a tribe from Africa.
There are two main pronunciations of Yemenite Hebrew, considered by many scholars to be the most accurate form of Biblical Hebrew, although there are technically a total of five that relate to the regions of Yemen.

 DNA test puts to rest mystery of one missing Yemenite child
Some members of the Yemenite community have long alleged that hundreds of their children were kidnapped and sold to Ashkenazi families, but the results of DNA tests performed in Britain and announced recently indicated that at least in the case of Leah Sharabi, this did not happen.
Sharabi was among the members of 10 Yemenite families who were informed by Health Minister Shlomo Benizri of the DNA results on remains exhumed from 10 children's graves at a cemetery in central Israel.
The disappearance of the Yemenite children in the 1950s is one of the most painful chapters in the early history of the State of Israel.

The Yemenite Jews, already accustomed to the rigors of manual labor to which the European Jews were not, were the obvious choice.
Despite the growing presence of Yemenite Jewry in Israel, the majority of this community remained in Yemen, prevented from coming by the anti-Semitic regime then in power.
Although the Yemenite Jewish community, secluded from the amenities of modern life for thousands of years, was obviously out of place in the civilization into which they were thrust, they nonetheless made significant contributions in several realms.

The Satmars promised the Naharis and other Yemenites idyllic conditions in the United States but kept them in tight, crude quarters and took away their passports, according to the Yemenite Jewish Federation of America and the Jewish Agency.
The Yemenite Jewish Federation, which is funded by the UJA-Federation of New York and is not a Reform group, insists that some Yemenites are being held against their will, and that all their moves are choreographed by the Satmars.

In recent years the study of Yemenite Jewery has reached an innovative and important stage: the use of Muslim sources for uncovering information pertaining to the Jews in Yemen, material either unknown or only partially comprehensible from Jewish sources.
Parenthetically, it should be pointed out that most Yemenite Jews in Israel, as well as in the United States, are no longer original natives of Yemen but belong to the second and third generations, zealously retaining a highly diversified cultural wealth created in Yemen and imported from there.
It is clear that the chronological report of the grain prices and of the wars, as well as the list of the disadvantages, were done from a comprehensive approach to Yemen as a country, rather than just from the limited outlook of the Jewish community.

For the Yemenite Taj an effort was made to incorporate aesthetic elements of the classical Middle Eastern binding.
In the binding of the Yemenite Taj the hinged hollow was chosen with the idea of distributing the stress of hinging among the multiple hinges including the hinge of the opening.
The treatment of the Yemenite Taj, in contrast, represented a complex object with unique elements and challenges: in reconstructing the text, planning paper conservation treatment, text repair, and rebinding.

Ben-Shalom also outreached, in Manhattan, the Yemenite community of ‘Congregation Tifferet Yisrael of Manhattan.’ It is a vivid Yemenite society of young people who come to pray and would like to preserve their Yemenite heritage and religious unique Yemenite style and customs.

The Yemenite community in what was to become Israel grew to about 40,000 over the next six decades, until several tens of thousands of Yemenite Jews came in 1948-9 in Operation Magic Carpet.

The cultural and civilisational distinction between Yemenites and Arabs was however clear, as we observed already in the aforementioned text of the Periplus, but the term Arabic was prevalent for generic references to Ancient Yemenites.
The introduction of the term Yemenite Studies is strongly recommended on the basis of several historical truths.
The basic historical trends of the ancient Yemenite states, as well as of the neighboring Frankincense Land (a state mentioned in the Periplus as located at the area of Dhofar and Oman), will be of easier access, enabling further national emancipation and liberation from the shackles of colonial traps and schemes.

It was observed in a Yemenite sister and brother, born from unaffected parents, possibly consanguineous.
The diagnosis of Yemenite deaf-blind hypopigmentation syndrome was based on the presence of congenital sensorineural hearing loss, nystagmus, hypopigmentations, multiple freckles, patchy white hair and similar dental findings to those from the original two patients with the severe form (13).
The main difference from the two original patients is the absence of anomalies of the anterior chamber of the eye and of choroidea coloboma in the patient with the milder syndrome.

 Jews of Yemen
This increasingly perilous situation led to the emigration of virtually the entire Yemenite Jewish community - almost 50,000 - between June 1949 and September 1950 in Operation "Magic Carpet." A smaller, continuous migration was allowed to continue into 1962, when a civil war put an abrupt halt to any further Jewish exodus.
As a result, the plight of Yemenite Jews went unrecognized by the outside world.
Yemenite Jews have little social interaction with their Muslim neighbors and are largely prevented from communicating with world Jewry.

 The Head Heeb: Yemenite diversity
Approximately 9,000 ethnic Yemenites live in Sha'arayim, a southern Rehovot area that offers a choice of 22 synagogues including four just on Yaakov Madhala Street, a small road on the outskirts of the neighborhood.
Three of them are private synagogues that were built in the courtyards of homes, whose owners are now having a difficult time rounding up a minyan (quorum of 10) for the evening prayers.
This is, except for the minor matter of religious liturgy, not the case at all - I imagine that most of the congregants in the synagogues you describe are Shas voters (OK, with some Mafdal and Likud voters thrown in); that is, voters for a party with a most regressive and authoritarian political program.

An emphasis was placed at the rally on those of the families that had arrived here during the "Magic Carpet" operation in the early years of the state that saw Jewish families from Yemen brought to Israel in the effort to increase the immigration of Diaspora Jews.
Operation "Magic Carpet" was initiated in 1949, and is said to have brought approximately 50 thousand Yemenite Jews to Israel.
