註釋

Korach (1871-1952), the last chief rabbi of Yemen, presents a survey of the history of the Jews of Yemen from 1546 (when Yemen was conquered by Turkey) until the emigration of most of the Jews to Israel in 1950. Relates discrimination against Jews under Turkish rule in the early 17th century, and, from 1628, anti-Jewish legislation enforced by the Imams of the Zayda sect. In 1679 the synagogues were destroyed and the Jews were expelled, but they were allowed to return one year later due to economic considerations. The reconquest of Yemen by the Turks in 1872 was followed by additional anti-Jewish legislation and many Jews emigrated to Palestine and Egypt. After 1919 the Jews were again subject to laws imposed by the Imams, and in 1948 political strife engendered pogroms. The situation worsened after the establishment of Israel, and in 1949 there was a blood libel in San'a. In 1950 the Israeli government staged a rescue operation, during which almost all of the Jews were airlifted to Israel.
