 * Sanaa Abdel Moneim Al Jabri island: Libyan popular events experienced by the Yemeni street over the past few weeks in solidarity and support for the Palestinian people in light of the suffering of war crimes and brutality by the Israeli occupation forces .. These events took a variety of situations which aroused attention and drew the attention of observers and observers have .. Perhaps the most important of these positions are those that emerged through effective campaign 'embryo' which was devoted to fundraising for the Palestinian people and to support the uprising, and lasted ten days in the various governorates of Yemen .. And attitudes indicated the position of the sons of the Jewish community in Yemen, who have registered a remarkable presence in this campaign when he rushed to donate blood and money, like other Yemeni citizens, and expressed their willingness to fight alongside Palestinians against al Sharon and his army. The Jews of Yemen announced their rejection and denunciation and condemnation of what يعتبروه terrorist practices carried out by the Israeli forces against the Palestinian people, and they describe the 'Sharon' as a terrorist and a war criminal and die for their religion 'Jewish' onion .. And that all of its work practices and work but are forbidden in the 'Bible' and beyond its teachings. It was this attitude that brought Yemenite Jews back to the spotlight and also raised the subject of controversy and talk about their cause and their story, also tighten the attention and interests of observers and observers of the Yemeni arena-level internal and external. The sons of the Jewish community in Yemen minority is very limited for the Yemeni society in which they live in أوساطه and of the total population of more than 18 million people, while the least number of people who convert to Judaism several hundred, where official estimates that the number ranges between 300 - 400 people, while According to independent sources of information that they are increasing on the ground. These are all of the rest after the mass exodus of Yemeni Jews to Palestine in the years 48 - 1949 m, and in the process, dubbed 'Magic Carpet' or Mat wind .. And arranged for this process by the Jewish Agency and the backing of U.S. and British large during which deported about 50 thousand Jews via airlift participated in aircraft British, American and so from the base of the RAF in the area «Sheikh Othman» province «Eden», which was under the control of colonialism The British then to the airport «Lod» Israel over a period of several weeks .. It was said that the operation was part of a big deal with Imam Ahmad Yahya Hamedaddin who has ruled Yemen was then, and continued migration of Yemenite Jews then by sea from the port of Aden During the period from 1950 until 1953 deportation of more than 15 thousand people. The sources also indicate the total number of Jews who emigrated from Yemen to between 130 - 150 thousand people, most of them went to Palestine and a few of them turned towards Britain and America. It is said that the limited numbers of Yemeni Jews had begun to migrate to Palestine since 1882 in the wake of visits shuttle carried out to Yemen evangelist Jewish Christian «Henry Aaron Stern» and Rabbi Jacob Safire in the period between 1830-1859 and were meet with Jews Yemenis in order to lure them to emigrate to Jerusalem .. This was done in the context of migrations then financed by wealthy Zionist 'Rothschild' .. And rolled the migration of Yemeni Jews to Palestine until 1910, when he arrived in the country one of the elders of the Jewish Labor Party called «Shmuel Aavnila and managed to persuade about 15 Jewish immigration ..These Jews had left Yemen in the period from 1910 to 1912 .. To the resolution on the partition of Palestine came after World War II where carried out the largest displacement process as previously noted .. It was Dr. Abdul Karim al-Iryani has announced in a press statement earlier that currently exists in Israel, half a million Jews out of Yemen. Perhaps what is worth pointing out here is that of the remaining members of the Jewish community in Yemen enjoy the full rights of citizenship and practice their religion freely, also participate in the general elections and voting, like other Yemeni citizens .. Therefore confirms the Jews of Yemen, which mostly belongs to the membership of the General People's Congress of the ruling party led by President Ali Abdullah Saleh that they are satisfied with their lives ..They are fortunate their survival in Yemen .. Because of the emigrated to Palestine and found that the promises and temptations that led them to emigrate to Palestine were not only just a lie and a hoax, and that attract from Yemen was for the purpose of exploitation and child labor as farmers from the perspective of the Yemeni people and famous historical experience in agricultural activity. From this point of attracting Yemenite Jews came to carry out the task of establishing a base in the context of agricultural plans relating to find the ingredients and the economic and other components of the necessary ingredients to build the state of Israel with the beginnings of its inception .. And yet he could not Yemenite Jews who immigrated to Palestine adapt or integrate with others who came from other countries, particularly European and tells some of the stay in Yemen, who visits to relatives in Israel, and transporting them they feel the existence of a kind of isolation or discrimination, nor does it get support and assistance, like other communities, so they rely on themselves almost entirely in the requirements for life insurance through their work in the agricultural activity. Besides facing the Jewish immigrants from Yemen, including carry it from the culture, customs and traditions Yemeni province of difficulty in co-existence with the rest of the categories of Israeli society because of their inability to cope with the Western tradition, which found it did not agree with the ethics of traditions of Yemen, which still maintain it until now and refuse to leave it .. For all these reasons previously referred to find the remaining members of the Jewish community in Yemen is eager to immigrate to Israel and to catch up with those who preceded them of compatriots brown .. They say that there is nothing to calls for their departure as long as they are receiving attention from the Yemeni government. Perhaps this is what has increased in their conviction of the futility of immigration is that some of them had fought a difficult experiences at this level made them return back to Yemen, bringing their painful stories. This is the story «Imran bin Yahya» of Jews living in the 'rosette' to the north of Sanaa, who had left Yemen, accompanied by his wife and seven children by more than eight years for the purpose of immigration .. But he found himself two years after his forced return to its original 'rosette', and without a wife or children. And tells the 'Imran' the details of his story with this trip, which left a deep scar in the same ..That he found it difficult for him to live in the United States or Israel, because there are customs and traditions did not like, as a result different from those conservative traditions that used them in Yemen and that preserve human dignity and rights .. And what's more anger and raised him to return to Yemen is Zayed liberation of women and that made him lose his wife and children, who are currently studying in America .. He says this Jewish Yemeni he surprised his wife after coming out of Yemen abandon their customs and traditions and ethics which originated that provoked strong differences between them .. He adds that he could not control his wife that did not prevent her about the path of liberation, chaos and openness to Western-style .. Indicates 'Imran' to his wife worked Similarly Yemeni view «If I came and the people of the country Ur, eyed your eye like them .. And attaches «that the best for his wife and children if they stayed in Yemen» .. He says here 'in Yemen, a better social life .. Your rights to you and your wife and your children and everything guide is for you .. But there is if his or her spouse Toek you will not be able .. And marry people from the street. And reflects the sons of the Jewish community in Yemen for their love and appreciation for President Ali Abdullah Saleh .. They say they are in the custody of reassurance and better standards of living, as proud of his positions of national and pan-Arab issues, so they devote five minutes at each prayer to pray to him good health and success. They hope not to Elamua the sin of others, and in reference to what is happening inside the Palestinian territories by the Israeli occupation forces and practiced acts of terror against the Palestinian people. Yemeni Jews say that the Zionists who are in the genus Palestine are malignant has falsified the Jewish religion and Khalvoh what they are doing crimes .. And 'Sharon' does not work to the teachings of Judaism and what came in the 'Bible' that deny the bloodshed and killing of innocent self .. «The actions that occur in the Palestinian territories is limited to Jews coming from Europe. He says the young Yemeni Jewish «Fayez Yahya» and is known as «Alilom» and works as a teacher of the Jewish religion to the people of the Jewish community in «rosette» The Torah did not specify Palestine as the Promised Land, but identified the holy places in this land is not permissible for Jews perform their religious rituals, but which, on the basis of he must visit the holy places to perform these rituals without residency .. He said, adding that the Zionists have used this command to gather the Jews from different countries of the world to Palestine .. Had they set up their own state in any other place of what came to them one. He adds 'Fayez Yahia' that there is no hope at the end of the conflict between the Zionists and the Arabs, particularly the Palestinians, who he describes «Torah» they Jabbaron .. And the world 'Ripoll' mentioned in his writings that the earth will not subside until the demise of the Zionists. And confirms the Jews living in the area 'rosette' Yemen that their presence in Yemen back for nearly 4,500 years .. There has been a large number of Yemeni Jews who lived in the city 'Sanaa' until 1948, when they decided to emigrate to Palestine .. It is noteworthy here that it was the Jews who lived in Sanaa their own lives in the old city, which was divided into three sections separated by earthen walls of some parts still remain even today .. It was for each section of the three sections of the city a special character and a distinct architectural style ..The first section is the eastern section and the largest in terms of population and buildings, which housed the old neighborhoods, markets and mosques, and feature its luxury buildings and decoration and multiple floors .. The middle section and a collection of gardens and palaces of the Imam and footnote .. The third section is defined by the bottom of the Jews », currently dubbed« the bottom of the martyr fodder. Jews were also in Sanaa make up layer fared better than the rest of the layers of the Yemeni people in terms of standard of living .. They were practicing their religion and enjoy the protection of the Imam in return for paying tribute to the house of money .. The houses were those Jews based on a different style to the common patterns in the city as no higher than two floors .. Foreign walls were coated with mud which quickly affected by rain and other weathering, and thus looks beautiful homes and distorted from abroad, contrary to what is inside the case .. And those Jews plan for intimation bad case, poverty does not even know others including inside funds Fatmawa by .. When they decided to oldest Jewish immigration to sell their homes and shops to the people of the city who gradually worked on the demolition of houses they bought from the Jews and sawed built burnt stones and bricks .. As a result, it has disappeared most of the features of the Jewish character of the building in Old Sana'a to become the Arab and Islamic character is dominant. There is no longer just some of the very few houses that belonged to the Jews, in addition to limited landmarks in the section where they were living from Sanaa, and so what knows deep Balsradeb that was used to escape and take cover and is now on the verge of ending perfectly ..There are also some Jewish inscriptions and fees and large wooden shutters in the form of six-pointed star that is used behind the doors of houses still remain even today in the Old Sanaa and other Yemeni areas. And Yemenite Jews who did not emigrate to Israel or the other and preferred to stay in their original homeland of Yemen distributed to small groups in several areas of Yemen, including the 'rosette' to the north of Sanaa, where the largest gathering them, which includes nearly 300 people .. The rest live in areas «doted, Jabara, welcome, salts, Haydan Add to Saada region». There are about two families living in the capital Sanaa. It is noteworthy that of the most famous Jewish families in the area of 'rosette' Yemeni families' lives Ben Yahia »whose members exceed the number of 30 people .. As well as the happy family Amari and family 'Grady'. Photos from the life of Jews in Yemen We find that the children of the Jewish community in Yemen who did not like their immigration visits to relatives and children of compatriots in Palestine via other countries from time to time, including visits to the Jews of Yemeni immigrants in Britain and the United States. In the 'rosette' There are three teachers who graduated from the United States and who teaches Hebrew and the Torah to the children of Jews .. And one of those teachers named 'Fayez Yahya' and teaches the Jewish religion at a school attached to the house in which they live .. And say 'Faiz' a young man he traveled twice to the United States for the study of religion at the expense of the Jewish religious organization .. After the sons of Yemeni Jews learn Hebrew and Torah are deported abroad to complete their studies and it is usually to America. There is in the village of 'doted' near 'rosette' one of the families are living a Jewish family, living son Yahya »in the eighth decade of age, almost eldest son at the age of 49 years and his name plump and works as a carpenter ..

And the 'plump' brother called Yahya living, Ben Yahia, a young man working in a mechanical workshop .. Yahya is the only one so far from members of the Jewish community in Yemen, which is taught in Muslim schools .. Where he attended «Abu al-Hasan al-Hamdani and then Shaheed« Faisal القديمي »also narrated his brother« plump ».. After Yahya arrived in public secondary married and then left school and went to work. And is considered the father of the 'plump' live Ben Yahia, 76, a religious symbol for Jews in the regions 'rosette' and 'doted' as they call him the title «Alilom» any rabbi because from their point of view familiar with the Torah, the Psalms and the Psalms of David .. As the «Alilom» when the Jews of Yemen is the one who pray with them and assume alone the task of slaughter and circumcision and others. Thus, the «live Ben Yahia is a person who is not the sons of the Jewish sect marriage without it, as well as divorce and children as well as circumcision sacrifices .. Vmatkd those Jews that any prohibited sacrifice for them if they do not cut 'neck' with a knife «Alilom» and on his hand, even if this sacrifice 'chicken'. Besides, is «live Ben Yahia famous herb doctor .. He says he treated the person who hit him 'eye' and their charm and things like that .. In addition to the Jews there are also some Muslims from the neighboring Yemeni tribesmen mean 'live' to seek treatment. Usually preferred Yemenite Jews entrepreneurship, and thus are active in the areas of trade, blacksmithing and various craft works, and known for some handicrafts such as those made of silver .. What should be noted is that there is some sons of the Jewish community in Yemen Muslim faith from time to time .. Nearly two years ago converted to Islam Ehudatan, one called Sanaa Youssef girl and تزوجتا then a couple of young Muslims from nearby tribes from the 'rosette'. And Jews in Yemen, their customs and their own traditions .. For the marriage, we find that the cost of dowry and other requirements relating to this aspect in some cases more than what is found in other members of the society Yemeni «Muslim» .. And cost up to marry when Jews sometimes to a million Yemeni riyals, the equivalent of about $ 5800 .. The least expensive is up as identified by members of the Jewish community in the 'rosette' to 550 thousand riyals ..

The cows are slaughtered livestock or other guests who eat food 'lunch' with the groom and then everyone sits down to eat khat until Sunday evening where they are the work of 'henna' for years ..

Guests remains they groom and his friends at the home of the bride until Tuesday morning where ate breakfast and then accompanied by the bride and Aagaflon back to the groom's house to continue the celebration after that until Thursday. He says members of the Jewish community in Yemen that polygamy is permitted by their religion and determined three wives .. One of them commented, named 'Masha' a teacher that it is difficult for the person for the time being to marry more than one woman because of changing living conditions .. He adds that if the Jewish reached the age of twenty did not marry has earned the curse. And refrain Jews of Yemen for the reception or interview any guest on Saturday of each week being a sacred day for them, and may not work on this day, even the food يعدونه on Friday and keep it until after prayers on Saturday, which, according to their belief that the Lord rested it ..It is Easter festivals as well as which يربطونه according to claim the departure of the children of Israel from Egypt .. This continues the feast of the evening of 14 until the evening of April 21 of the same month a year during which they wash their clothes and furnishings homes .. When Yemenite Jews in 'rosette' special place praying which is called 'Synagogue' a building in the form of a large room somewhat .. Where they gather in this place to pray three times a day, and the dates the first time from dawn until nine o'clock in the morning and the second from the time of the demise of the sun until the entry of the night and then start date of the third prayer which lasts until dawn .. A part of the 'synagogue' dedicated as a place to cleanse and wash the dead and the other .. It is a basin with water and has two doors, where they are from one access and washing with water and then get out of the other door .. The punishment and reward in the belief it is only in this world, and punishment is looser and humiliation of and reward is represented success and victory. And where the Yemenite Jews say they are satisfied with their living conditions in freedom granted to it by President Ali Abdullah Saleh .. They also contend that the state deal with them in the same dealings with General of the Yemeni people, but sometimes feel that the state authorities to deal with them in some things better than dealing with the rest of the tribes. As the «plump live Ben Yahia, the relations with the Muslim tribesmen good and excellent and there is cooperation and constant contact with each other, and that the tribe brought them together and not dispersed by religion. Adding that they are any Jews يحتكمون to tribal customs in resolving their issues and their problems, whether between members of the community or between them and other tribes of the sons of 'Muslims' .. Is recourse in these matters to the Mujahid Sheikh Abu mustaches to solve .. and everyone is committed to what it brings Tribe .. He says 'live' Sheikh Mujahid Abu Shawareb is the sheikh is the only benefit us when the state and the tribe .. In addition to the tribal norms, there are some problems that are resolved by the state authorities, according to the circumstances. The members of the Jewish community in Yemen, it is not fair that people look to the Jews with one vision and one measure .. They say that there is a difference between Jews, طبائعهم and behavior, as is the case for others who convert to other religions. Tomb Cbza In the context of stories that talk about the history of Judaism in Yemen, where has yet to be found among the ancient Yemeni monuments and manuscripts known writings discovered 'assigned' a line that dates back to Sabaean Kingdoms eras refers to the date of entry of the Jewish religion to Yemen .. Some accounts indicate that it was in the era of 'Balkis' the queen of Sheba, who ruled Yemen in the tenth century BC and others from these accounts say that the Jewish presence dates back to pre-date, and other sources that he came in late. Perhaps the rest of the famous sights of the Jews so far in Yemen is the tomb in the city «Taiz» to the south of Sanaa, said to be the tomb dates back to the poet Jew named «Mori Shalom Habazi» or as it is called the people of Yemen now «Cbza». The «Cbza» which benefit the references he made to Yemen from the Maghreb, a cleric and the world and a rabbi, so he considered Jews of Yemen in the denominator of the saints. Orientalist say 'Singer' that the Cbza had assumed persuade Imam Mahdi Ahmed bin Hussein amnesty for the Jews' Sanaa 'and returned to it in 1681, after he had been ordered evacuated to the area of' distributor 'near' Mokha in Taiz governorate. After his death, became a tomb «Cbza» shrine and a holy place for pilgrimage him the Jews of Yemen until now, no longer from the grave only one of the walls after sand covered the rest of the parts .. There is near the tomb «Cbza» fountain of water .. Treating the Jews of Yemen their children from diseases, as they believe that this water cures a child of any disease or emaciation or weakness in the body and through the wash .. Also, some Muslims were also believe that water. To that recently began hesitate to talk about the migration of anti-Jewish Americans of Yemeni descent, decided to return to their roots for the purpose of investment, particularly in the Aden Free Zone .. As local media sources say the number of Yemeni Jews immigrants seeking to buy back their property, which had previously sold in Sanaa and other Yemeni areas for the purpose converted into tourist attractions. Some Jewish personalities of Yemeni origin and in Israel has made several visits to Yemen, American passports during the past two years .. This has raised a fuss and wide, prompting the Yemeni authorities to stop allowing these Jews to enter its territory.

And then they use special documents to enter Israel receive from America and European countries. |
