Preserving Jewish culture in Yemen

[@RadAl-123]

Yemenis traders to India borrowed from Hindu religion started Torah, Spreaded to Hijaz, Ethiopia, canaan land, nothing African and other areas.. Ibrahim from Brahma means the holy spirit in Hindu.....also borrowed Adam and Eve... Before Islam many parts of Arabia were Jewish and Christians... 95 % of nowadays jews are Ashkenazi of khazars origin, Caucasians ...DNA proved that...this explains why most of them come from Russia and neighbouring countries close to their roots khazaria..

[@elmisticco]

*Interesting insights for sure. What are your sources and are they documented and verified? Although I personally would disagree about the proximity of the names. Abraham isn’t necessarily a holy spirit. He’s more of an ancestral figure and might not necessarily constitute a holiness, but rather reverence to high extent.*

[@goldenmind5760]

This is a lie, slander, contempt and desecration of Yemeni Jews. There are two parts of the descendants of the Prophet Ibrahim, the descendants of the tribes and the sons of the Prophet Solomon when he married his queen, Bilqis, the Queen of Sheba in Yemen. The other part are Arab tribes known before Islam that were influenced by the Jewish religion and embraced Judaism. After the advent of Islam, many embraced Islam, whether Jews or Arabs. The pagans, and there are those who remained on their Jewish religion, and they are the true ones, and there are many Jews in the peninsula who migrated to the Levant and the world began, so they spread Judaism, the original Jews are only them, and the rest are the Ashkenazi Europeans who converted recently. A Polish or a European is from the descendants of the prophets. There are no Ashkenazim converts to the religion and they have no real origin from the sons of the prophets Abraham. Do not lie and do not desecrate history.

The Jewish culture is so fascinating. They are physically different, geographically different, they scattered throughout the world, speak different languages...... but they are faithful, honor, respect and share the same heart wherever they live. They honor their lineage, genealogy, heritage, their ancestors, their ways, their history, their religion, their arts and etc... the torah is a written memory of their ancestors, civilizations and non-Jewish continue to preserve the Jewish culture by reciting the bible.

[@elmisticco]

Moreover, the Himyarite King, Abu-Karib, converted to Judaism at the end of the 5th century, while laying siege to Medina. His army had marched north to battle the Aksumites who had been fighting for control of Yemen for a hundred years. The Aksumites were only expelled from the region when the newly Jewish king rallied the Jews together from all over Arabia.

[@ShmorgelBorgel]

The reporter misspoke when she said the children "grow up in the school learning Hebrew as their native tongue". (approx minute 2:19). Yemeni Jews speak Arabic as their native tongue. Until recently many of them especially in the villages, spoke various Jewish dialects of Yemeni Arabic which mixed in a lot of Hebrew , maybe those still in Yemen speak it still. But the pure Hebrew was used in Yemen for study and prayer and wasn't the day to day native language of Yemeni Jews.

[@amixofeverything]

True. Although Yemenite Jews in Yemen could speak the Biblical Hebrew if they wanted to. When Israeli reporters have gone to Yemen, Hebrew was used in conversation between the Yemenite Jews and the Israelis.

[@ShmorgelBorgel]

Prior to establishment of Islam, Yemen had a king who converted to Judaism. Many Yemenis became Jewish at that time. It is speculated that the origin of Yemen's Jews is a combination of people descended from Jews from the Land of Israel who were exiled from there and arrived in Arabia peninsula, and people native to Yemen who converted at the time of Dhu Nuwas

[@elmisticco]

That's a true fact; Jews of Yemen were there way, way, way before the Muslims of Yemen. They are the natives of Yemen if you think about it objectively.

Suggesting that Yemenite Jews are "black" based on the fact that some have a darker skin tone is like saying Arabs and Indian people are black Africans.

So the only black Jews are actually non-Jews.

There's actually less war and violence today than at any time in human history. People seem to be in a consensus that the 20th century was the most violent in history. It actually wasn't. The only reason the Napoleonic Wars, Boer War, 100 years war, Crusades, thousands of invasions and occupations throughout the world never resulted in mass death like in ww1 and ww2 is simply because they didn't have machine guns and tanks. Give Napoleon tanks, you have a world war MUCH bigger than the two.

@mewoone I'm not too sure about Yemen. But after Islam, when the Arabs erupted from their desert homes in Arabia, they simply captured all of the Fertile Crescent along with Persia. After this point many Arabs began to settle in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan Holy Land, and southern Iran (esp Khuzistans province). There were civilizations there (like Sumer, Babylon, Assyria, Phoenicia, Egypt etc) which predates Arab civilization for thousands of years. And they were NOT Arabs.

[@juliaisafilmbuff123]

I have a friend who is Yemeni and Jewish. She grew up in occupied Palestine.

Same thing with other Arab Jews; before the zionists "re-educated" and de-arabized them they all thought of themselves as Arab first, not Jewish first.
