Great lecture. Just one thing, Yehuda was part of the ancient cross Mediterranean-Central Asian world going back to the Iron, there were already Jewish communities from antiquity at least, in Rome, Greece, Anatolia, and especially Alexandria and out in Persia and Mesopotamia at the same time before the diaspora. And Yemen included. What more likely happened was, those who left during the Roman diaspora, went to places where communities already existed. Which is why we see the migration through places like the Roman territories, or the later Persian and so on. Not to take anything away from the Yemenite story at all of course. But I am fairly certain most of those communities were set up prior to the destruction of the 2nd temple. Alexandria I had thought had as many more more than Judea during the Roman period, but there were exiles, banishments and what not so cant be certain. The Georgian community or Caucasus community in general I thought was pretty old too. We were traders and we went to major trade hubs, ie major cities. So we already had a trade network. Which is why YEmen at the mouth of the Sea, was the community, to the vast east. Same as in the north in Baghdad and Egypt, and out in Anatolia and Greece. Later we spread across the silk road also, to Uzbek and Afghan. But there was already a community in Persia by then which probably acted as a hub. And then also, many remained in Byzantine Syria Palestina and only left in the 7th century, with the Arav invasions. And those who left then also likely went to previously established communities. I thought at least that Iraqi and Iranian Yehudim at least in tradition link their communities to ancient Persia and Babylon. How much they really are connected is a different matter. But we were also likely trading sons and daughters across these vast trade networks, as we did later in Europe and throughout the Caliphate and such. So i think basically we had these hubs established that the diaspora used as a receiving point during any of the numerous exiles or incidents. Kind of like until 1948. heh. It's estimated I believe 10% of the city of Rome was at some point before diaspora. And of course many were taken to Egypt and Rome after the rebelion as captives. Now how continuuos the none Yemeni communities are or were, that I am not certain. There might have been breaks and reestablishments in some cases, like Rome. . Also the Yemenite community probably became most isolated with the rise of Izlumb. We see the stories of Medina and such. So much of the land that would have connected communities like between Judea and Yemen, were lost. And I do think that the culture and what not changed more in the Ashkenaz and Sephardi worlds, certainly. But their traditions and cultures dont necessarily shed light on their origins as they have undergone so many more transformations over time.. The Yemenite seems to have been more isolated and thus maintained perhaps more traditionally in that way. Which is still quite important. And yea, the Yemenite greeting to Yiz wasnt the best. Also if they came to Yemen from Yehuda during the Helen/Roman period they would have likely been speaking Aramaic, but using liturgical Hebrew as we did until the reestablishment. That's why they had to know all three of Hebrew, Aramaic and local language. And why the MAJORITY of the talmud and much of Rabbinic lit is in aramaic. "The Ostia Synagogue is an ancient synagogue located in ancient Ostia, the seaport of Imperial Rome. It is one of the oldest synagogues in the world, the oldest synagogue in Europe and the oldest mainstream Jewish synagogue yet uncovered outside the Land of Israel. The synagogue building dates from the reign of Claudius (41-54 AD) and continued in use as a synagogue into the 5th century AD.[1][2]" "There has been a Jewish population since at least the fourth century B.C.E; in fact, archaeologists have discovered the ruins of Greek Jewish synagogues from the second century B.C.E. Despite their long history in the country, however, Greek Jews have struggled for inclusion." Not to suggest one is older or anything. Lets just say they are all pretty historic haha.
