We love Yemeni jews our brothers and sisters. Inshallah one day you can come back and live in Yemen. All Yemenis are welcome 🙏🏽
I'm half Yemennaite on my mother side I want to visit you, I hope that after we will have peace here we can visit one another and eat salof
@@Amirz-go1sz come by anytime, just get a Yemeni passport from the embassy in Egypt, bc Yemen doesn’t allow Israeli passport holders to enter Yemen, you are welcome anytime my brother ❤️ we are one blood Yemenite qahtanite sabean himyarite ❤️
❤@@Ali-pt9id
Knowing many yemenite Israelis I can happily say they are in Israel to stay
@@AGENTtoaster-eg4ju that’s fine, nobody is forcing anyone to leave or stay. There are 4 million Yemenis outside of Yemen. Not only the few Yemenite Jews in Palestine
They are the actual Jews
Most of us got expelled because of it.
And DNA already proved that we are all the same people.. many Arabs have some Jewish ancestry as well they don't know of.
I learned something today thank you for sharing
The closest to what the Jews looked like before
@بدر العتيبي but they didn't converted they were hebrews all the way
Samuel Levy they looked like lighter Ethiopian and a little Arab
Samuel Levy because archeologist found ancient pictures drawn by Romans and Syrians of how Jews look like 2000 years ago they were brown skin with curly hair. Not black.
@Samuel Levy they look like middle eastern
Before what?
You forgot to say that yemen had the strongest Jewish kingdom in history, the kingdom of Himyar, controlled the whole of the Arabian peninsula and ruled all outside states as proxies loyal to Himyar.
And they killed thousands of Christians.
The Himyar rulers, starting c.380 CE, were not strictly Jewish, but Nazarenes.
Nazarenes were formerly Levites. Jesus and his disciples were all Levites.
Jesus apparently asked his disciples to be Nazirites. As the Nazirite community grew, they were called Nazarene.
Upon the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD, the Nazarenes left Judaea and went in different directions. Some obviously went to Aksum (Northern Ethiopia). Around 360 CE, Ezana of Aksum made Trinitarian Christianity the state religion and forced the Nazarenes to accept that faith as well. The Nazarenes escaped and landed in Himyar.
Nazarenes were Jewish (they strictly followed the Law of Moses), but also believed in Jesus as the Messiah.
It was the Nazarenes who built the Temple on the Temple Mount c. 635 CE, under the management of 'Umar Ibn al-Khattab.
Under the Abbasids, those captured in the war and converted to the Nazarene faith, came to known as Muslims.
@@vicmath1005 hello. We have over 200k inscriptions that detail the rule of saba and Himyar.
@@Ali-pt9id Thank you. I have gone through the research writings of Christian Robin. He studied a large number of those inscriptions.

I'm form Yemen and i'm so proud of being Yemeni bc we have beautiful culture and kind people before Islam we were all Jewish and we still to now have the same cultures
Thank you very much for this video. May God bless the truth Israel

Yemen/hiymar was a jewish state in early middle ages until the christian
ethiopians conquered it and forced Christianity. Afterwards the muslims took control
More Jewish then then us Ashkenazis
They are the true tribe of Soliman and Sheba
incorrect. we ashkenazis are closer related to the original jews, these are arabs who converted
@@PodcastCentral333 Not really, more italian ancestry, askenazi are probably a branch from roman converts.
But it doesnt matter. What matters is the religion.
@@gratefuldead3750 askenazi are literally half Levantine half European. Not Roman convert or any bullshit like that
A lot of Ashkenazis have Mizrahi ancestry
new heavens and a new earth.
Yemen is the real cradle of civilization of all mankind and the land of holy scriptures , that were given to many prophets.
noahs son went to yemen we are all those He rescued from egypt.
Shalom
Ashkenazi Jews are not original Jews.. they are converted europians ... Mizrahi are original Jews but most of them are Palestinians..
I used to think that as well, but the genetics says otherwise. There was some mixing with Europeans (I think mostly Italians), but apparently that was very early and quite limited. What is true, of course, is that they are very European in terms of socialization.
Another fascinating fact: the Kohanim among all groups of Jews, who are believed to be the descendants of Moses and Aaron in the male line, are actually descendants of Yemenites in the male line. In other words, it appears that Moses and Aaron were Yemenites. That would explain the otherwise puzzling import of Judaism into Yemen and Ethiopia.
wait what?! so ashkenazi jews actually descended from yemenite jews? woww this is intersting asf@@johaquila
Recently in Indonesia there has been an uproar of rumors that all Muslims descended from Hadramout, Yemen are actually Jews, they are popular in almost all jobs, including non-religious jobs (sometimes very liberal) but in short they are the most popular, usually from rich families in Indonesians are of foreign descent, I am one of them but I don't have a patrilineal line anymore, I belong to the Alaydrus family and I see them as a very rich family by Indonesian standards, the commotion started when other Muslims who were descendants of the Prophet Muhammad exposed their lies as descendants of the Prophet muhammad saw it turns out they showed even DNA results, the DNA results showed similarities with Jews and even non-Middle Eastern genetics, this makes sense because almost all the public figures who are members of this community all look like half white, half native, some of them even whiter than half white Indonesians!!!
I hope someone can give me confirmation on this, thanks!@@johaquila
but.... the problems is jews only value maternal line@@johaquila
While I agree that these details of Jewish genetics are super interesting, I also think it's both misleading and incorrect to say that Ashkenazi Jews descend from Yemenite Jews. Misleading because to the limited extent that it's true, it's probably just as true for most other groups of Jews. And incorrect because of the following three points:
1. It's only in the male line. The vast majority of genes of Jews are mostly generally 'Canaanite' = Southern Levantine = 'Palestinian' plus various other regions depending on the region; e.g. roughly half of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry is approximately Italian. (Surprisingly there isn't much northern/central/eastern European ancestry, so the European contribution is likely from before the matrilineal system was introduced in the 1st century or so.)
2. This is only about the Kohanim. Originally this was the Jewish caste that all the priests had to belong to. When the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in the 1st century under Roman Emperor Vespasian, by his son Titus, Judaism had to reinvent itself as a diaspora religion without priests. For Jewishness the matrilineal system of inheritance was introduced to ensure that Judaism stayed distinct from the surrounding culture, but the former priest caste got a new honor/duty as cantors in synagogues, and eligibility for this continued to be inherited in the male line. To this day, (at least among the Ashkenazim; not sure about others) members of this group can typically be recognized by the surname Cohen and variations of it. But even among the Kohanim, only about 50% have the male Y haplotypes that indicate descendence from a very small number of Yemenite men.
3. These Yemenite male ancestors were probably not Jews; they likely predate Judaism. According to the Torah (plus later traditions), the key ancestors of the Kohanim were Moses and Aaron and neither of them was a Yemenite. However, the Torah says that Moses married Zipporah, daughter of a Kenite priest in Midian (in Aqaba if I remember correctly). This is could well be the reflex of a memory of Yemenite influence on the emergence of Judaism, because the easter Red Sea coast and particularly Aqaba/Midian was under the cultural influence of Yemenite traders. The Torah says that Zipporah's father was key for Moses getting to know Yahweh, but it is completely silent about which god he was a priest of. If you read the relevant part, it's clear that Zipporah's father must have been a priest of a god other than Yahweh. It is also not unlikely that Zipporah is identical with Moses' 'Cushite' (i.e. black) wife, which might indicate that she was actually of Ethiopian descent. Ethiopians (from the Addis Abbaba region), in turn, are genetically a mixture of Arabs (and specifically Yemenites) and black Africans.
My personal suspicion is that what really happened is that Judaism was originally a very heterogeneous religion that emerged out of the entire region around the Red Sea, which was culturally dominated by Egypt, Ethiopia and Yemen. The southern Levante was on the border of that area, and the religion was brought there by Ethiopians and/or Yemenites. Later a specific form of this religion was standardized and codified in the Torah, which was so successful that it was exported back to Ethiopia and Yemen.
Please show something about Jews in India
I love the music. What is it called?
I feel really sad about yemeni jews and what happened to them ..
They had been treated racially by muslims and then they did not find any way just to leave their country yemen..😢😢
Not true we coexisted for thousand years 🤦🏽♂️
@@ashraffitahey5733 yes
Until Islam came to encite against them
@ Ashkenazi not Jews Yemeni Jews are from tribes of solaman and David
@@t.mohammedtash1297 islam has been good to the jews what are you on about. Jews have lived under the protection of muslims for 1400 years. Look at all the arab jews, they still have their homes vacant in their respective countries. Read about the jewish scientists and doctors in the Golden islamic age, or about maimonides or even about al Andalus. Only idiots would think that muslims treated them bad. EUROPE treated them bad not arabs
@@t.mohammedtash1297 Muslims? Xd
Maybe jews themselves forced them to build a temple?

Like Everybody else, they Travelled there OK. No exotic storyline. No invented history. Even today Yemen is Still being Bombed, not all Yeminijews have left.
if you have information about Jews still living in Yemen today please do share.

Would these be Hebrews and not Jews?
Yemenite Jews are of the Southern Kingdom of Judah. Yes they are Hebrews whose forefather is Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Queen of Sheba was of a Hamitic East African tribe of Ethiopia. The Falasha tribe of Ethiopia are also Jews of the Southern Kingdom of Judah.
Queen Sheba is Hamitic? This a joke lol. She is Arabian semetic.. in Yemen all the tribes belong to someone called Saba.. we had the kingdom of Sheba and kingdom of himiar.. don’t disrespect the queen like that
It is a debate if the original ones were there from before the exile from the Land of Israel - but it is known that many are in fact Jews who came after the destruction of the Temple and were of the people living in Judean territory at the time of the destruction.

There are various African Shemitic tribes present in Africa today, due to the Shemitic tribes man going to Africa and inter-marrying and mixing with the Hamitic women.
Yemeni people were there before king 👑 David. Then they began to believe in God. Then King 👑 David came to the picture 🖼

Semitic Jews originate from the Arab peninsula including Yemen. There was no temple in Palestine and there was no exodus from Egypt to Palestine because Palestine was at that time under Egyptian rule. It makes no sense at all. Bani Israel was an Arab tribe living with other Arab tribes who all spoke own dialects , Aramaic , Syrianic, Poenitic, Canaan dialect, etc etc
When God tore down the tower of babel so people wouldn't be in the same place speaking the same language.

Israel doesn’t like dark Jews, why would they like Indians?
the real jewish are the yemnite.
jew didnt come to yemn it comes out from yemen, to the rest of the world.
if you jewish you should know the real history not the history that thy put it lie for you
True 👍✅️
They're strongly connected to ancient Jews, but they also have a lot if Yemenite blood in them from Judaized Yemenites (mostly female converts).
The Jews who are most close from a genetic perspective to the ancient Jews of 3,000 years ago are those who always remained in Israel and those who became dispersed across the Levant, Mesopotamia and North Africa (as it was the case with my family).
With that said, all Jewish communities had some degree of admixture with other people around them, the same way Arabs today are not exactly the same they were 3,000 years ago. They became more mixed with other people they interacted with. Just consider the millions of African slaves that were brought into Arabia and other parts of the Middle East since the rise of Islam. It obviously influenced the gene pool of modern day societies in Arabia.
Same thing with the expansion of the Greek and Roman Empires into North Africa and the Middle East, the rise of Islam in Southern Europe and the Crusades. All these events had an impact in the gene pool of Southern European, North African and Middle Eastern societies.
Yemenites are Esau descendants thats in the book of Obadiah 1 vs 1-5 Temen in hebrew means Yemen which means Yemenites
Isreal didnt go into Saudi Arabia when they were scattered thats in the book of Peter..

Of Israel
King humri is king himyar Arab king of Yemen
this is a truely jew, not made in poland oem.
It is a fake story. Queen of Sheba is Ethiopian Queen.
She was from Yemen. Whether she had Ethiopian origins or not is debatable. Many Yemenites have Ethiopian roots the same way many Ethiopians and Somalians have Yemenite roots too. Some Ethiopians even have ancient Jewish roots due to admixture with Jews who settled in Nubia and Ethiopia (Aksum and Kush) via Egypt and Yemen.
no
The story is quite on point with some gaslighting to suit a crafty agenda. The picture of the Queen of Sheba is rather inaccurate to say the least... Yes the Queen of Sheba was of a Hamitic African tribe of Cush making her Ethiopian.
The African pyramids .... African history thieves😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
no
Queen of Sheba was Black
No one really knows. Some say Yemen, some say Ethiopia.
Who gives a shit If she’s black?
@@elisinger4172 what is Ethiopia 🇪🇹 today was part of the great sabaean Empire, at the Time of queen Sheba. That’s why a lot of Ethiopian and black people are confused about it. The sabean empire was a Yemenite empire that spread throughout the Middle East and Horn of Africa and controlled the trade routes between civilisations for over 16 centuries until it was replaced by its rival kingdom the Himyarite “ also a Yemenite empire” in 275 CE. By the way the Himyarites were the only people who adapted Judaism as the official religion outside the bible setting. In fact, many historians believe that the whole bible setting was in Yemen not Palestine, especially after “the Musnad” was deciphered and many ancient scripts in Musnad found supported that argument. Musnad was the ancient writing system the Sabaeans and the Himyarites used.
