Video Description:
The next in a weekly series of 10 minute topics teaching about various topics within Judaism. This week's topic is: Teimanim Jews.
Temanim or Yemenite Jews are those Jews and their ancestors who lived in Yemen on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Nearly the entire Jewish population emigrated from Yemen between June 1949 and September 1950 during Operation Magic Carpet. Most of these émigrés now live in Israel while some live in the United States and other places around the world. There is only a small population of Temanim left in Yemen.
