so cool and fascinating! i m an ashki and this is so uplifting and interesting...about time!

just what the country needs.

the rabbi wrote a commentary on the Torah called Chamdoth Yomim too :-)~ another one Et Dodim Kallah/ kala/kual ( someting like that, sorry dont know the exact sound / hebrew vocabulary ) Note : Shabbazi's grave in Ta'izz was revered by muslims too :-) ~ they know him as Salim Elshabizi ..emmm..!7 century Yemen was Jewish and was expelled as Yemenite Jew in 1679.Rabbi Shabazi established a torah study center in Yemen ; -)~

#2 - Jews don't worship anything/anyone except the Almighty. #3 and #4 - realise that #2 is a perfect example of "tinok sh'nishbar" - don't judge him so harshly

The perfect nachas for Ben Gurion and Hertzel and the like. you reap what you sow.

Let the remains of all our great people be brought home . That's the place for them to be buried . Why not a sort of "Har Herzl" for all of them ?

Historians will be declaring that this site is actually the burial place of an Arab sheik and that there never was a R' Shabazi.

One thing he/she is for sure : an anonymous coward

What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine; isn't this what replacement theology is all about?

This is the best kind of aliya. What else do we need here?

I think Shalom Shabazi should stay in Yemen ,,because it is there where he was born ,his homeland .....I feel pity for jewish people when they were living in Yemen ,,I hate the discrimination was practiced against them ...Now I discuss with people that jews are originally from yemen they embraced Judaism and it was the most recognized religions ,,then when Islam came only bit of them embraced Islam but not understood is should have been. Houses of jewish people are still there telling us a very big story about a huge origin people lived here and suddenly disappeared ,,,unfortunately ..unfortunately ,, I wish I could caught the time when jewish were living here Yemen is there original land but alas
