    When I lived in Louisiana in the 1980's there was the Museum of the Southern Jewish experience in Utica Mississippi which I visited. In so many small towns along the Mississippi, the Jews had disappeared but artifacts and relics, even Torah scrolls or other synagogue items remained. Hearing about the Jewish camp in Utica, people started sending them items and this was the beginning of the museum.

      They mostly moved to larger cities. My great-grandmother’s brother lived in a small Cajun town but most of the family lived in New Orleans. It’s hard enough to keep a Synagogue together in a major city much less, a rural town.

      This was a single instant and was carried out spontaneously by villagers who had good relations with the Jews Like the case of my great-great-grandfather which was written in a book by a European traveler to Yemen in 1910 he spoke of the fact that the local Muslims would be at his house and they were like members of the same family and there were no problems or conflicts between the two however these were relations between simple villagers and Jews ruling authorities however persecuted the Jews terribly and would spontaneously steal their land order their forcible conversion and destroyed their synagogues unfortunately these were actions that simple Muslim villagers couldn't stop this was a fact in Yemen and this was the reason why the vast majority of yemeni Jews left Yemen many many years ago

    The problem is that most prople think that Judaism is an ethnicity! It's only a religion. Most Yemenis converted to Judaism and ruled the land under Jewish kings. Later, some of them converted to Christianity. Then Islam came, and most Yemenis converted to Islam. Some remained Jewish by religion, but they are Arabs by ethnicity. The Yemeni moslems and Jews DNA s are the same. They have nearly the same culture, tradition and backgrounds. This applies also to Iraqi, Iranian, and other Jewish communities in the Arab countries.
