History of the Jews of Yemen.

[Mindful]

A lone Jewish person remains in Yemen, down from seven in February, according to a new United Nations report about the treatment of religious minorities in conflict zones. (Gabby Deutch, Jewish Insider March 14, 2022) In the early 20th century, Jews in Yemen numbered over 50,000; today, there is one Jew left. There are reportedly a handful of “hidden Jews” in Yemen who have converted to Islam but secretly practice Judaism.

Unique Tradition​

Yemenite Jews have a unique religious tradition that separates them from Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and other Jewish groups. The roots of the Jews in Yemen—Teiman in Hebrew— can be traced back to Biblical times. Yemen is mentioned in Jewish scriptures in various places. It is noted as the place of origin of Job’s friend Eliphaz. Additionally, the famed Queen of Sheba, discussed in the Book of Kings where she visits King Solomon, is said to have heard about King Solomon from Jews in Yemen, which was located near the kingdom of Sheba.

Fascinating. There was also a clan of tall powerfully built Jewish warriors in Yemen. Many were recruited to be bodyguards for the King of Jordan.

That was the burning of the Christians of Najran. They were Nestorians and had congregants in Tarut island and Eastern Saudi Arabia. I think that the Edomites we're forcibly converted to Judaism by John Hyrcanus.. and there was also conversion among the moors of nort Africa. There's a famous Jewish warrior queen named Kadima.

The OP is not about conversions.

But as you insist.

Jews in biblical times were open to prospective proselytes, but they did not see it as their mission to convert Gentiles.

Conversion came up because of your BBC link.

That’s right, divert.

I'm not diverting. Read your BBC link.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

I'm not diverting.

Of course you are.

The implications of the thread have to do with the way you supremacist Arab Muslims persecute Jews. In the case of Yemen, a population that once numbered 50,000 is now down to just one due to the behavior of things like you.

Why are you talking nonsense? Jews from many countries willingly emigrated to the new Jewish state.

There was room in Israel because the Zionists had ethnically cleansed some areas of Palestinians.

there was at the time that yemenite jews escaped from Yemen---
plenty of room in both Yemen and British Mandate Palestine. The
escape was fascilitated by the purchase of land commencing in the
early 19th century from the Ottoman Empire by jews. The actual stop-gap was the difficulty in overcoming dhimmia restrictions

By 1948 the Jews had bought 7% of the land.

right. The purchases rendered the jewish agency the
largest land owning group in Palestine----contrary to the
silly islamo sophist BS -----the figure does not indicate
93 % private ownership by "arabs" unless suradie wants us
to believe that her anglican church OWNS THE GRAND
CANYON. Play it again............ I needed a morning laugh
and a throw back to that islamo nazi BS I read back in the
1950s.

Fascinating. There was also a clan of tall powerfully built Jewish warriors in Yemen. Many were recruited to be bodyguards for the King of Jordan.

they are hardly a clan now-----assimilated but with a history of
escape from the arab invasion and imposition of Dhimmia. The
story is that they actually owned horses in violation of the filth
of dhimmia. I see them as "KURD-LIKE"

 

[irosie91]

By 1948 there was ALREADY a considerable population
of Yemenite jews in palestine. The city RISHON L'TZION
was chock full of them (city founded in 1882)

 

[irosie91]

By 1948 the Jews had bought 7% of the land.

and the arabs had purchased virtually none. Prior
to the British Mandate the land was putatively "owned"
by the Ottoman Empire kinda like Spain owned argentina
and the Amazon river and Pimwe's Long House

a very interesting factoid of history-----at the time the last vestiges
of the jewish community of Yemen were air lifted out of Yemen (circa
1948-50) the rescue party needed the permission of the BIG KAHUNA IMAM --(king of yemen) The poor kingy was afraid that letting all
the jews go would spell the end of SILVER CRAFT AND ART in Yemen
so he demanded that some jews be held back. The rescue part
caved to his demand. I have asked muslims IN THE KNOW---what
is it with muslims and metallurgy? but never got a straight answer.
Maybe the board experts----surada or anus KNOW

 

[irosie91]

anyone? can anyone tell me what is the issue in islam with
metallurgy and metal craft?
