In this second episode of my series on Jewish communities in the Arab world, we explore one of the most ancient and unique: the Jews of Yemen.
From biblical incense routes to forced conversions, from Maimonides’ letter of hope to Operation “On Wings of Eagles,” this is the story of a community that survived exile, poverty, discrimination — and still created poetry, music, and unshakable spiritual strength.
We’ll visit Rehovot’s Yemenite neighborhoods, walk through their hidden history, and talk about what happened — and what’s still happening today.
