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. FR
