Who they are

The Yemenite Jews form one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world, preserving distinct traditions and a unique historical pronunciation of the Hebrew Scriptures. Shaped by centuries of rich cultural heritage in the south of the Arabian Peninsula, most of their families today live dispersed, keeping alive the faith of their ancestors, strong community life, and the memory of their roots.
