Faith Under Fire: The Exodus of Yemenite Jewry
Description
In this episode, Rivky Boyarsky's mother, Etti Hahn, a Yemenite Jew, speaks to us about her childhood and the Yemenite community. We discover how an ancient community clung to their identity, and how each household kept their simple Emunah at the forefront of their existance.
The winds of change occurred with Operation Magic Carpet, a mission of both deliverance and upheaval. The journey of nearly 50,000 Yemenite Jews to their new home in Israel, is both a bitter sting of cultural shock and severed family bonds. It's a portrait of resilience too, of women who, though unable to read, were walking repositories of Minhagim and Torah.
While we grapple with the complexities of Operation Magic Carpet, including the pain of searching for lost relatives, and the challenge of nurturing Torah values in an ever-changing landscape, we also speak about the anticipation for a future era of peace,of the faith we have in the coming of Moshiach.
