Yemenite Jews are a Jewish ethnic group that has lived in Yemen for centuries. Their history dates back to ancient times, with traditions and customs that reflect a unique blend of Jewish and Yemeni culture. They speak Judeo-Arabic and have distinct religious practices, including unique prayer melodies and rituals. In the mid-20th century, many Yemenite Jews immigrated to Israel due to political instability and persecution. This migration significantly impacted the community, leading to the preservation and adaptation of their cultural heritage. Today, Yemenite Jews continue to contribute to the diverse tapestry of Jewish life in Israel and beyond.
