- Yemeni Jews singing and dancing: A performance of the Yemenite Troupe.
Here is a "simple" translation of the Yemeni Dialect part--I need help with the Hebrew part (some words are translated based on the way the performers pronounce them, which is in some parts "questionable")
Note: the words in parentheses are added for clarification:
Down (the hill or mountain) I went
To the stream
To water my horse--
My foot slipped
And I fell into the water.
I went to propose (engagement)
But they rejected me,
(and) my "qat" (a stimulant)
And the "mada3ah" (water-pipe)
Although I'm the son of a Chief
The son of a Jew.
I went to propose
Carrying my qat and the mada3ah
But the bad guys
Made a fool of me.
Sweet heart and the apple of my eye
Tell those who made you
Think bad of me:
Who of you would entertain me?
From the early dawn
She got angry with me
And went cry--
Got angry--oh darkness (of the night)
Out of sight is my beloved.
For a year and two months,
Never returned.
Alas people
She left
And deserted me.
To whom shall I complain,
And would understand me?
Before whom shall I cry,
And would pity me?
And who of you
Would entertain me.
From Yemen here (non Jewish) but GOD!!!! This makes me happy and very proud to be from a country with an ancient and cultured civilization! Prosperity to the people of Yemen, and to ALL!!!! ❤️ ✌🏻
Mark McElroy ❤️ thank you, and to you too
Next generation yemeni muslim, should preserve their beautiful culture
Yemen is an ancient land where different communities coexisted beside each other for centuries. Sunni Muslims lived side by side with Shiite Muslims and with Jews as well as other foreign communities like the Indian and the Turkish. So sad to see what Yemen have come to
I’m a Yemenite Jew. In fact they did not live side by side. Jews like all other ethnic minorities under Muslim Arab rule were subjected to Dihmmi status. Second class citizens or lower. With limitations of were they could live, profession, basic human civil rights, laws that humiliated them and served as reminder of their lower status. And had to pay a Jizya tax to not be killed. Yemenite jews are peaceful people and just learned to live under these limitations but don’t be deluded to think they were treated as equals.

MaShaAllah .. we Jews & Arabs are so much more the same .. then we are different !! salaam shalom
the youyou come from Leah's, Rachel and Jacob story, was half a mask to Leah for the bride because she was the eldest and she was to be married before Rachel, and the people to prevent it was Leah rachel and not under the mask sing soon LEA, LEA ,LEA ... speed LEA LEA LEA and the youyou :)
They are Arabs
Jews and Arabs at the same time
@@mr.q8608 an Arab speaks Arabic, Jewish people speak Hebrew. But they are both Semites.
This is beautiful.
but then stupid Islam came and called the people of the book the WORST of all CREATIONS !
I'm Arab (from Iraq) and I've noticed a trend that the most talented musicians and vocalists are usually Arab Jews... they are very talented. Nice video. Hope all Yemeni Jews live in peace. I love the Yemeni people :) so kind and sweet, exactly how our beloved Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) described them. Long live Yemen!
We are just jew, not « arab jew »
@ionah7187 I mean they are singing in Arabic
Nope
Middle East is Middle East , Jew , Muslim whoever ….
@@ionah7187there is difference.
I feel sad about our brothers Yemeni Jews they were getting treated bad in their won country Yemen . Hug to all Yemeni Jews . And I hope one day we all go back to our beautiful Yemen
ameen
ya rab, ameen ♡
Hummus Binshawarma you’re weird
Wish I could go to the land of my great grandparents land to feel this place
not just jewish but everyone is badly treated there because of what the Saudis and US been doing there. These proxy war between Iran and US and Saudi is the reason for it all, Muslim, Jews and Christians been living together in Yemen for thousands of years without any problem. But after the age of British colonial all these shit started!
Peace and Love ♥ I am Jewish Yemenite from Canada and I pray that we should love each other and not hate after all we are cousins and brothers alike.
sinzlicht True. Wish you all the best in your life. Peace to you. How many as jews Yemeni people are there in Canada?
sinzlicht are they alot of Yemenite Jews in Canada and where are the communities
sinzlicht why are Yemenite Jewish women so beautiful
Hi beautiful sister, im a Dutch christian by choice with jewish roots by fathers side his grandfather was killed in Auschwitz. Once i met a very sweet yemenite jewish women in Rotterdam selling falafel in a small kiosk/toko she said eat as much you can for 1 price
Hi🙋🏻♀️
The last song in Hebrew says.
We will go up to our land, with song and praise and with splendor and majesty
Eshal elohai
the woman sing in Arabic but the male sing Hebrew [most longing to home(israel).they pray every day (3000 years in the diaspora !)]
proud to be a yemenite jew (not zionist ) .
salam ya shabab :)
In 1949 and 1950 the government of the fragile new state of Israel sent planes to airlift some 47,000 Yeminite Jews from Yemen, where they were under attack, to Israel, where they settled, bringing their music with them.
ameen
+jamilasalaam hal enti Yahud minal yaman ??
+jamilasalaam are you yemeni jews ??
Thumbs up for the not a Zionist part
Wow this is Incredible! The Yemenite Israeli singing group A-wa popularized and hip hopped this folk song "habib galbi" my beloved heart. Its great to hear the OG version
Les Himyarites pratiquer le culte sabéens ,puis le christianisme ethiopiens ,le judaisme ,et ensuite l'islam..
I love this. This is so awesome, nice to see our brothers in Israel are keeping it alive. Whoever posted this: Thank you and Shalom if you're jewish, Salam is if not. It's all the same. =) ... By the way, I'm a28 yr old American-Yemeni in the USA. Whether we're Yemenites or Yemenise, Jewish or Muslims,who cares, we're all brothers.
Salam/Shalom to all. To understand zionism pls read 'the weight of 3000 years of jewish history' written by prof israel shahak
The Hebrew verse they sing at the end is the last verse of the song, "Eshal Elohai" ("I Will Ask My G-d,") by Shalom Shabazi (16th Cen. CE). Approx. Trans: We will go up to our land (i.e., Land of Israel) with song and melody, and music and praise.
I'm proud yemeni jew and happy with my traditions would never choose to be anything else. very well said. from my poor knowledge i can tell that islam says to respect other religions.. we are all a5ua ^^ bne Ibrahim brothers fight but after all we are brothers. unfortunatly many muslims talk bad about jews and israelis and see them as different. i agree jews do too.. but im happy to see people like you! inshalla more will be like you. a part of yemeni song for end "salam salam, ma a7la al salam"
👍
Its so so nice music and dance of Yeminis Jews in their traditional dance and songs in a wedding celebration mixed into two language arabic/hebrew.Thanks to my sister and brothers Jews of Yemen in performing this nice songs and dance in which we can feel of past and present and future also for remaining on that tradition culture is still alive in their hearts and gains our hearts too.
تحفة.. عاش تراثنا المشترك.. مسلمين ويهود ..💕💕
Yes, I wanna also a palestianian state.
But, please, the yemeni muslims like you, try better to yemeni jews. Isn't so different the situation of palestinian in Israel, with jews into Yemen.
Bye.
Blame the last century of nationalism and the borders drawn by the west. Muslims lived with Jews and Christians peacefully and still can. Go read about Andalusia in Spain and how Muslims protected Jews from the Grand Inquisitions that were taking place in Europe at that time.
What is the name of this song? Can you re-upload the video for better picture quality?
Anyone who converts to Judaism according to Jewish law, is considered to be Jewish. A convert is as much a part of the Jewish community as any other Jew. It is even forbidden to mention that the person converted. They are FULL JEWS, according to Jewish law. Also, only a very small percentage of Ashkenazi trace their lineage back to the Khazars, btw. And they also are full Jews, having converted according to Jewish law. Don't believe the "facts" you hear from antisemites, ok.
The Bible explains more or less the same story as Coran since Adan and Eve to Abraham but what happened next? God saved a son of Abraham in the desert, so, he could be the father the Muslim religion, wasn't it?
By the way, what a nice music! It seems that swing and groove was not invented in the USA but in Yemen, by Jews (although I think there was a deep arabic influence too).
this is not "sepharadic" , this is yemeni music .like no other .
i'm yemeni :)
I'm a yemeni jew from israel but pretty asli ^^ I love my yemeni traditions and songs and i think 2000 years in yemen makes us Arabic Yemeni Jews since we were at the times where alot of the arabic culture and traditions started.
I love to see how you think and how openminded you are about others..
thats how muslims and jews should think.. because we warship same god and there is no closer religion to islam then judaism if you look up to it
They are arab yes no doubt about it. The traditions you still hold are also still in yemen and we won't forget you my brothers, a yemeni is a yemeni no matter what
The early Christian church was almost indistinguishable from Judaism. Most believers in Yeshua were Jewish
Instead of focusing on political and religious differences, how about we focus on the reason why we visited this page: to appreciate the beauty of the music and dance that is intrinsic to the Yemenite Jewish culture. At the end of the day if you open us up, we are identical on the inside. One heart, two lungs, etc.
Speaking of Yemenite music, can anyone kindly tell me the name of this song? I think Daklon or Moti Nahari also did a rendition of this song, and I've been trying to look for it.
Such good music
I attended a Shabbos in Jerusalem at a yemeni Jewish family's home, they are delightful people and their music more so
I'd heard that yemenite Jews provided security to the yemeni Royal family
Is this sung in yemenite Arabic or a Jewish language besides ladino?
Too bad that no one talks about the pain that Yemen is going through at the hands of its fellow Muslims.
Shalom!
I luv yemini Jewish music
But it is believed that King Solomon brought Jews with him to the land.
from egypt with love . nice song
I'm a Yemen Hadrami, and the Houthis are the real culprits that caused our Jewish brothers to leave Yemen
Too bad all the Jews had to leave Yemen. There used to be millions of Jews in Arab countries, but almost all had to flee in fear for their lives.
IM Yemeni Muslime and i Love Yemenis jewish Yemen One Nation love u all
If you claim one nation, then why Arabs treated the Jews as second class
I am sad about the bad qualitiy of this Video.
Beautiful Music and Dance, I love it very much ! We dance the Yemenite Style too, for Example the Dance "Achei Bnei Teiman", "Ayuma Behar Hamor", "Lechu Neranena", "Sacred Shabbat".
Shalom from Mirjam Germany/Berlin
what jew are u ? moroccan ? if u dance similar to this
Yes, Yemenite Hebrew is very distinctive (an gentle on the ear).
This Arabic dialect spoken by Jews who settled in Norther Yemen very similar to the Sa'dani Yemeni Arabic dialect
Actually, if you read your history books closely, Christians did not always get along with Jews. When the Christian crusaders took over Jerusalem, they only let Christians enter and worship there. However, when Salah ad-Din (who was Muslim) captured it from the Christians, he allowed any follower of an Abrahamic religion to live and worship there. In fact, Maimonides was his royal physician.
KOQluvr09 Muslims and Jews were in the past in better terms than either of them with Christians I think. Its probably bc jewdasium and Islam are both monolithic religions but Christianity has a lot of mixing up with Jesus being god/the son of god and its all very confiding.

Mesmerizing, beautiful, part of the rich tapestry of Judaism!
Reminded me of the late Ofrah Haza R.I.P.
Indeed, it was thanks to her music I’ve learn more about Yemenite-Jewish culture
Sheba's queen(sheba is the name of the kingdom,and there were many shebean kings in the history of yemen),on her name Bilkis was the queen of yemenis aswell,but most of them still doesnt identify themselves as jews..but call themselves shebeans..i do not know a lot about how the habasha people(ethiopians,eritreans) identify themselves but i know they have a great history aswell and we share a queen,Bilkis with them..
whats the name of the group and do they still perform,Amazigh Berber music has alot of similarities to,many Jews of the diaspora went to northAfrica.God bless ya,ll
cool...what language they are singing?some words are arabic but some are not.could anyone tell me what language it is?
Hebrew but spoken with Yemeni accents which probably sound closer to the way the an ancient Israelites spoke Hebrew. Arabic sounds more like ancient Hebrew in many ways
شكرا على جهودكم في حمل التراث اليمني المشترك بين مسلمين اليمن واولاد عمهم من الديانه اليهوديه
ما شآء الله صوت جميل ودافئ
وان شاء الله من حسن الى احسن
@mohaberlin شكرآ اخوي/اختي : على الكلام الجميل
بس ودي اقولك شغله وحده بس الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام كان يزور جاره اليهودي اذا مرض
انا مسلم ومستحيل في يوم من الايام اغير ديانتي اعوذ بالله بس الاسلام ما علمنا نكره الناس اللي من ديانات ثانيه
Do me a Favour and let us listen the song quietly! We don't need your brain wash!
Let us listen quietly!
This must have been how it looked when the Bible says Miriam and the women sang praises to G-d during the Exodus ❤️
Amein
Yemen needs to rebuild a country based on community, gender equality, ethnic equality with the spirit of brotherhood, diversity, peace, and culture so that it can become the most beautiful place that causes anyone and wherever people want to live there.
beautiful , hermoso. que el Dios de israel los bendiga
If only we could have it in better quality
beautiful dance n music ..the culture never die.. a 60 years old country won't last so long.... viva yemen
Both Yemen and Israel are thousands of years old.

Actually The Jews of Yemen have different blood that originated from the Israelites they are of Jewish blood and it is believed from the Bible that the Jews were brought to live in Yemen from King Solomon's time when King Solomon went to different lands to find a wife he and the Jews went as far as Ethiopia to find him a wife and married a Ethiopian known as Queen Sheba.That is why there are many Ethiopian Jews today.
i love this really niceeeeeee and i love who every yemeni who is proud to be yemeni love you all
Proud Yemeni right here
Haha you probably have Israelite Hebrew Jewish blood in you and you don't even know it haha your Arab people descend from ours sorry to disappoint you haha:)Long Live Israel.Hebrew Pride Forever!!!
I love this song! Why the quality is so poor?! I wish I could sing and dance like them...
This is the Yemenite music and what the Isreali Yemenites tries to sell as Yemenite music. May be It's has true that the real Ancient Hebrew culture servived In Yemen!
You Yemenis have some Jewish ancestry just like the Palestinians there was alot of intermarriage check it on wikipedia or go do an ancestrial blood test and we will see.
Argh... I miss them so much... Greeting from me, Yemenite Jews in Federation Of Malaysia.
Yemenite Jews in Malaysia? Really?!
@@yojan9238 Malaysia only banned Israel not the jews from any other countries.
if theyre Hebrews why are they singing in Arabic?? it sounds like Arabic. unless its Old hebrew, like Old english! old english sounds nothing like modern english.
yemenis are one of the oldest nation from all the middleast ,they were even before arabs and jews.. they are semitic thats for sure but they were before jews and arabs(check in history books or u can even google it or read koran or tora or anything) yemeni jews ancient history and blood is the same as yemeni arabs..just the religion is different,because as i said jemenis were before islam or even jewism..its all true,check it out
Okay, so I don't have to trawl through a big political debate about the history of anti-semitism, the Holocaust, pogroms, Palestine, peace walls and Zionism as a geo-political ethic vs Zionism as a spiritual goal, etc... Can anyone tell me where the dance is taking place and their opinions on the history of Yemeni Jews and their current relationship with the country? Thanks.
PS Like the vid.
for god's sake, what has all this rant about politics and history to do with this beautiful music dance. even i don't understand any word of the song, but the music is so strong and am now listening while going to bed. some people pleazzzzzzz, don't spoil the music by your mere arguments. enjoy the music...
Khalood, of course these are Yemeni, Yemeni Jews - and their accent and singing is just like Ofra Haza, the way she sang. She was a Yemenite Jew as well. You're Yemeni, but you don't know your own nation's history?
All your words has no base and you didn't mentioned even the palastinian bobings in the Gaza war. So stop liying and say the Truth!
Next generation yemeni , should preserves their ancient beaitiful culture
احنا اليمنيين اكثر ناس محافظه على عاداتها وتقاليدها وتراثها
Great song, every time I hear it I feel like dancing! From the little I know of Yemeni culture, it has a very rich culture, beautiful jewelery, clothes, music, and landscape.
It's kinda strange to see Jews who actually look Arab and dancing to Arab music, since most people are only exposed to Askenazi (European Jews). Wonderful video thanks for posting.
Well, but this is the heritage of the Jews of Yemen, and they are Arabs
they are not sefardim, sefardim come from Spain, they are mizrahim, or better yehudim aravim as judaism is not a race but a religion.
This is beautiful! I want to learn more about this community. I'm tired of the misunderstandings between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi cultures. We're one family.
@BenYair1 about the quran,in your order,the first one if u talks arabic its in the past tense,u were kings,god ordered u to go palestine but u refused thats why god punished u,sura 7 is telling u that the god rewarded u for being patient with the pharoh and he drawned pharoh(what does this has to do to the conversation?)surah 17 tells u to live in the earth not palestine,stop acting like a jew
First of all, these guys are secular not religious. They have the culture but not the obedience to God, if they did, they would not be singing in front of men, nor would they be displaying themselves in this way. Red is also a color we traditionally avoid.
You can also tell by the fact that the men aren't bearded.
Secondly, the day any of us give a damn about the opinion of some idol worshiping piece of shit regarding my Holy and God fearing brethren is going to be an amusing day indeed.
Probably you are living in a democratic country..so you can support Palestian people..as I am living in a democratic country and I can support Jews and Israeli people...this is a previlege of the democracy: freedom! I thinbk taht there is no possibility to continue talking..we have different style of life and of opinion..it has been a pleasure in meeting you...good luck.
Sabra Italiana
I did not ask you to give a contribution...I just suggested you to do it. Anyway it is easy to give money, what it is more difficult is to support people with real charity work..example one month per year in Palestine. I do the same in Israel, when I can...I still hope for Israel surviving in order do not loose again what my family lost alreday in 1943...I would like to keep my family ties and my personal affects...I am just talking about feeling...and not money or proprierties...
In my opinion that is Jewish Yemeni dancing as the men are all wearing Kippaot on their heads and Tsitsit which are not to my knowledge part of the muslim religion nor generic Arab culture which by definition is a member of a Semitic people inhabiting Arabia, whose language and Islamic religion spread widely throughout the Middle East and northern Africa from the seventh century.
How in the world of flying elephants is this relevant to the Jewish culture in Yemen???!!!!!
is that what you stand for?? spreading the culture of hate wherever you go??whats wrong with you?? are you saying that the Palestinian people are the bad guys??regardless of your take on the conflict, describing a nation of being wrong is WRONG!!the modern world gave it a name...its called RACISM!
hermoso soy chilena pero me gustaria que me pudieran indicar de que parte es esta tribu si se puede llamar asi es una parte de palestina???? soy ignorante en esto ,pero es hermoso compartir una parte de lo suyo ...shalom
It's Yemen 🇾🇪
@arkhatych hhhhhh It's not a lie, I promise by Yahweh I am speaking the truth, I promise. And if you lived in a country for 100s of years only to make way for another group to dominate the land~~~ would you stay stilProxy-Connection: keep-alive

@arkhatych It's only that way because in 1948, 14th of May - which interestingly was celebrated a couple of days ago - Britain decided to give that land, where the Palestinians had been living for hundreds of years, give it to the Jews, and Subjugate the Jews over the Palestineans. Your Israel is only 60 years old, and before it was called the British Mandate of......Palestine!!
@arkhatych My goodness, with guns and everything????? My, It would be good if eventually a state bias neither to the jews or muslims we're created, and that both sides got equal standing, because from what it seems, neither groups can be erased. I just send my deepest love and respect to those whose innocent blood shed in this war.

What you wish for us G-d Creator of the Universe will give you back triple or at least multiplied by 5 times and for us what we wish you, we shall get, so O Miserable One, I wish you the happiness that you deserve.
Ribono Shalom loves us as we pursue peace and not war!!
Have a peaceful day!!
Do not worry, my dear, Jews are not claming lands that are not promised...You write "I hope that one day Palestinian will be free from Zionist Jew children killer..." This is your opinion.,...in the meantime I suggest you to really help Palestinian, starting with sending them your money and your help contribution!
actually thank you
There wasn't a time of only Islam
but there was a time when muslim control many countrys
and about who do the jews worship? I realy have no Idea
But I'm sure that all the prophets -peace be upon them- have the same message :
to worship only one God (Allah)
sorry for my bad English
I love Jews and think that all women should dress like this. But i also think video games and tv are sins and that once a couple is married they should stay married till death do they part. No racist people will be in heaven so OneNonly2000 better check himself before he runs into the King of the Jews Yeshua haMeshiach
Why do you think they left? Because they were treated as dhimmi's and persecuted. A yemeni jew was not allowed to ride a horse and be taller than a muslim. Zionism is an idealogy born out of persecution, of jewish independence in our own homeland, whether it be from the middle east or from europe. Zionism didnt create hate for the jews, hate for the jews created zionism.
@arkhatych You think? Opposing Israel's atrocities doesn't make you a Hizballa activist, because if it did, then many people who would considered "democratic westerners" would fall under that category. But if you're saying that Norman Finkelstein is a Hizballa activist, than I don't know.
@arkhatych
In the words of JEWISH-American political scientist Norman Finkelstein, although not word for word:
"My parents and grandparents suffered in the Holocaust, and it is precisely because of what they taught me that I refuse to stand still when Israel commits its atrocities to Palestine."
I thaught you are a jew. Anyways, indeed conflict can be quite beneficial to a community such as the conflict caused by the existence of Jews among not jews.
Secondly, I don't really know how you would be proud of your hybrid genealogy as marriage with non Jews is forbidden in Judaism.
for gods sake, get your head out of the sand and stop watching al manar tv, Israel is one of the smallest countries in the world, all we want is to live as a free people in our homeland, we offer the arabs peace all the time, they just dont want to accept us. Except (egypt, jordan)
You can Jump very high, because no one will hear you, especialy the Jews who see this video
Because the name of G-D is too holy. It is unspeakable.
I AM Yahudim, you are my brothers ❤️🇮🇱
the women sing about funy mistakes that happened to them outdoor all day. more of that the husbands came(jew husbands are very gentle with their wife) and she was impatient with him so he moved sad to weep- now the day was all bad. she still need to comfort herl husband. but she know she herself need someone to comfort her.
Mizrachi8 i'm not goin 2 debate,there is one TRUTH....and none of us might have it....at the END we will ALL know who is and who isn't....Shalom oh,and by da way; the Yemeni Yisra'elite dance is beautiful
as you said Mohammed -peace be upon him- is from Ishmael -peace be upon him- line
that's true that we and Jew's Like cousins
But that has never solved anything between us
I hope the peace comes between us soon
Marvelous danses, so happy, Teman, Morocco, Polin ,Russia or Spain, we all join in the same love to G.d and to our holly land.
Rubbish like fuascailt32 cant understand that, they live in a too negative world of lies and hate.
what makes you think yemen is your country and only your country. jews have lived in yemen way before muslims. your'e the newcomer to the land of saba (yemen) read your history instead of being proud or not without substance
You can diny as much as you can. But the Truth is one! And it's written in the holy Torah!
that is no true.jew have lived in yemen with muslims for ages why would that only happen when isreal was created.
it is all bullshit. and u giving me the reason for why is kinda funny. u sound so concerned
