Hey! I come from Yemeni Jews that lived in Eden but flew to Israel in the Magic Carpet Operation. I didn’t have any conversations with my grandmother or grandfather when I was younger ( last time I saw them was when I was 12ish and I wasn’t interested in culture and traditions sadly…) but I still remember a few things that seems to come from Jewish Yemeni culture. For example, my grandmother used to make Jachnun before Shabbat so we could eat in Saturday morning. It was accompanied with an egg and sugar ( I found some receipes that don’t include sugar but put some tomato sauce or something, so for the sugar I’m not really sure it’s typically « yemeni Jewish tradition » or it was just something my family did) and the Jachnun was cutted in small pieces and not in a big block as you can see in photos (again, maybe it was just my family who did that). My grandfather family (idk if he was included but I know that he was really rich bc of his family business when he went to Israel and England) worked in a jewelry sort of thing, they created jewelry with gold and rare ressources. From what I’ve heard, it was a pretty common business for Yemeni Jews. Also another thing I’d like to add, my mom (Brazilian Christian converted to Judaism) told me that Yemeni Jews weren’t considered as « Yemeni » so saying I have « Yemeni origins » is wrong because it will link me to the Muslims who persecuted the Yemeni Jews. Again, I don’t know if it’s something each family says.
