Description

On today's podcast you will learn about the Yemenite People who make up a integral part of Israel’s Mosaic. You will hear about their journey to Israel and a story from a Yemenite man named Roi. The Yemenite journey to Israel is very similar to the Ethiopian narrative. It is one of intense struggle, covert operations and the secret aircraft transport of Yemenite Jews from Eritrea, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
