The Yemenite Village
In this the fourth of our series on the communities of Ateret Cohanim, we feature the Yemenite Village, also known as Kfar HaTeimanim. This community, developed well over 150 years ago by Yemenite Jews who traversed the long journey from Yemen to Israel was home to well over 150 families. Due to Arab riots and pogroms in the 1920.s and 30’s the community was forced to leave. The Arabs desecrated the synagogue, squatted in the homes that were left standing and tried to erase the Jewish presence. Nearly 15 years ago Ateret Cohanim began the process of rebuilding the community. Join us as we tour this growing and strategic community.
