Hello ziv_zsl, The web site mentioned by tehuti does appear to be the work of one person, the site administrator Aleqsander ban Haim Rahmiel. While the web site seems very personal, it does have a fair amount of information, as well as links to a few other sites. The Jews of Yemen http://www.chayas.com/ "Aleqsander ban Haim Rahmiel (Site Admin at chayas.com)" The Jews of Yemen http://www.chayas.com/aleqs.htm "Links" The Jews of Yemen http://www.chayas.com/links2.htm One of those links might be the "Association of Jewish Yemenites" referred to in tehuti's comment. The site is copyrighted by "the assosoation for society and culture", and according to the English description of the site (in the description metatag), it organizes seminars and publishes books on Yeminite Jewish history. The site is otherwise in Hebrew. There are two links that will bring you to this site: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/9018/index.html http://www.yemenite-jews.org/ Another link also appears to be run by a Yemenite Jewish community. It too is in Hebrew. "Rosh - Ha'ayin" Union of Local Authorities in Israel http://www.iula.org.il/cities/eye/7.htm The other web site I found is run by a Yemenite dance troupe, and is in English, Hebrew, and Spanish. The Yemenite Troupe: Moshav Amka http://www.israel-folklore.com/ - justaskscott-ga Search strategy: Browsed chayas.com. Searched on Google for the word "links" in combination with the following terms: "yemenite jews" "yemenite jewry" "yemenite jewish" "yemeni jews" "yemeni jewry" "yemeni jewish" "jews of yemen" "jewish yemenite" "jewish yemenites" [Through these searches on Google, I found the second address for the Yemenite Jewish association and the address for the dance troupe. There were also web pages describing Yemenite Jews, but they did not appear to actually be run by Yemenite Jews.] |

Hello ziv_zsl, I have some leads, but not a full answer, so am posting this as a comment. Here is a web site on "The Jews of Yemen", which is in both English and Hebrew http://www.chayas.com/index.htm However, it appears to be the work of one individual, rather than of an association I have found contacts details for a US group, but it does not appear to have a web site: Association of Jewish Yemenites, POB 2863, Church Street Station, NY, NY 10008. (found on the Teimanim Israeli Judaica Shoppe site http://www2.netvision.net.il/~netzarim/Mall/TeimShop/TeimShop.htm ) and Yemenite community of Congregation Tifferet Yisrael of Manhattan. It is a vivid Yemenite society of young people who come to pray and would like to preserve their Yemenite heritage and religious unique Yemenite style and customs. The ones that they cherished in their homes, their Yemenite tradition. This community is located on 120 West 76th St. http://www.jewishpost.com/jp0809/jpn0809s.htm |
