No place like home
In the town of Raydah, Yemen there’s a community bearing the brunt of politics, war and hatred…
The ancient Yemenite Jewish community has dwindled in population from 60,000 to just 300 in recent years.
Targets of Islamic extremists – the ‘Al Houthi Rebels’ the Yemenite Jews are facing increased hostility by the day.
Although many have fled the country back to Israel there’s a determined few who are staying put, but this decision has come at a cost.
The synagogue and Jewish schools are closed, many are forced to covert to Islam and men hide their curls under skullcaps or wear turbans to disguise themselves.
The head tells them to leave but the heart wants to stay – How much longer will they survive?
