JEWS MARK PASSOVER IN YEMEN

SANA'A, March 30 (Saba) – The Jewish community in Yemen marks today Passover amid thanks to President Ali Abdullah Saleh who ordered to provide all requirements for the celebrities that last for eight days.

Rabbi Yahya Yusuf told the September website: in my name and on behalf of the Jews in Yemen I thank the president for care of us.

'Passover (Pesach in Hebrew) commemorates the formative experience of the Jewish people: their transformation from scattered tribes indentured in Egypt to a nation on the road to redemption.'

Over eight nights, the people stay at homes, doing nothing but eating and drinking and studying the Bible.
