One of Yemen’s last remaining Jews, Badra Youssef, has made aliyah, Israeli media reported on Wednesday.

Youssef reportedly left Yemen in June, a year after her husband Yahya’s death, according to Yemeni independent journalist Ali Ibrahim Al-Moshki.

“Thank God for your safe arrival, Aunt Badra,” Moshki wrote, writing that she and her husband were some of the “wonderful patriotic Jews of Yemen.”

According to various reports, there are currently four remaining Jews living in Yemen, most notably Levi Salem Musa Marhabi, who was imprisoned by the Houthis in 2016 for allegedly attempting to smuggle a Torah scroll out of the country.

1. 45K Jews airlifted to Israel after the Yemen Expulsion - 1949-1950

Jews lived in Yemen for 3000 years.

This tells me that Yemen has room for 45,000 settlers from Gaza. At minimum - they need to start taking in Children in Gaza RIGHT NOW.

Don't be like the USA when we had the chance to welcome 937 Jews in Miami on the ship the St. Louis in June 1939. Instead we turned them away . They can and must do better in Yemen.
