Item Description:

One of the oldest and most exotic Diaspora communities, Yemenite Jews have had a presence in the Land of Israel as far back as the 15th century. Rabbi Wein portrays their unique lifestyle and customs, ending his tour in 1921 in the years of the British Mandate. Focusing on a letter from a leading Yemenite rabbi to his brethren still in Yemen, his optimistic urgings that they join him in the Holy Land reverberate with love of the Land.
