An ancient capital of the Yemeni imamate and Islamic center of learning, Zabid counted a Jewish presence documented in medieval Arabic sources and in the Cairo Genizah. Jews there were active in crafts (goldsmithing, weaving) until the major migrations to Israel in the 20th century.

The days of this book
