The Jews of Yemen and a Journey on the Magic Carpet
Hosted By: Qesher
The Jewish community of Yemen has existed since antiquity, but today it comprises just a handful of members. The past century saw the largest waves of immigration to Israel, the most famous was Operation Magic Carpet, in which Gavriella Bigio Dahan’s grandmother took part. Through conversations with her grandmother, Dahan learned both of her personal ordeal as a child as well as the changing way of life for Yemenites in Israel. They and their descendants have made their mark in Israeli society and have contributed much to religious study, music, crafts, and food.
