The Jews of Aden formed an ancient community, distinct in many respects from the Jews of the Yemeni interior, notably because of the particular status conferred upon them by the British administration after the port was taken in 1839. Open to the maritime trade of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, the community comprised merchants, artisans, and scholars, and maintained its own religious and educational institutions. After the riots of the mid-twentieth century and the political evolution leading to the independence of South Yemen, virtually the entire community left Aden. Its members emigrated principally to Israel and Great Britain.
