Yemenite Jewry is not only an ethnic group - it is a phenomenon. The culture they preserved for so many years is rare in its richness. The Yemenite dance is unique and impressing with its beauty and delicacy. It is a functional dance, as it is danced in familial and religious ceremonies - and not for fun. Yemenite dance is an excellent example of chamber dance in that it was performed in closed places with a very few number of dancers. The dance is inseparable from the singing, which is mostly taken from the "Diwan", a collection of poems in which the majority were written by Rabbi Shalom Shabazi, the greatest of Yemenite Jewry's poets. Yemenite Jewry is not one group. Jews lived in various regions of Yemen and every region had its typical songs, dances and customs. Because of strict segregation imposed by their Arab neighbors and their geographic isolation from other Jewish communities, the Yemenite Jews maintained a unique culture, unlike that of other Middle Eastern Jewish groups. Aspects of their attire, language, dance, and melodies are thought to preserve ancient traditions that date back thousands of years. Yemen MapWhen the State of Israel was established in 1948, however, the flight of tens of thousands of emigrants ensued, culminating in the Operation Magic Carpet. This massive airlift, sponsored by the Israeli government, brought 55,000 new Yemenite immigrants to Israel for re-settlement. With them came a rich heritage of ancient dances, music, and folklore outstanding for its vitality and distinctive features. At the time of Operation Magic Carpet, the dance of the Yemenite Jews was a treasure of rare dance material that drew upon centuries of traditions. It was remarkable for its originality and the fact that it had remained untouched by Western influence for generations. Since that time, the Yemenite Jewish community has exerted a strong influence on modern-day Israel, particularly in the areas of music, dance, and the decorative arts. Their deep spiritual expressivity appealed to contemporary Israelis struggling to reconnect with their biblical roots. Many Yemenite songs are verse from ancient texts or are sung in Aramaic, a language long lost to speakers of Hebrew. The dance is a syncretization of Arabic, Indian, and ancient religious traditions. In this way, Yemenite Jewish music and dance is completely different than other Middle Eastern cultures. This rich heritage was recognized and integrated into Israel culture resulting in a profound influence on what we have come to know as Israeli folk music and dance.
