A city in west-central Yemen, Ibb (formerly northern Ta'izz) was home to a Jewish community whose presence is documented in medieval Arabic sources and Ottoman administrative registers. Artisans and merchants, the Jews of Ibb emigrated predominantly to Israel during the 'Magic Carpet' operations (1949–1950).

The days of this book

This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Ibb give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
