Operation Esther: Saving Yemenite Jewry

“Rescuing the Jews in Yemen and relocating them to Israel is truly a matter of life and death. Regarding your work to keep the Land of Israel whole – it would more conducive to live in Israel and work from there; otherwise people will wonder why you traded the good and holy Land of Israel for the ‘gold-paved streets’ of America.”
Yemen, Lubavitcher Rebbe

On 16 Nisan 5781/29 March 2021 (Ironically dureing preperation for [[Passover]]), the [[Iran|Iranian]]-backed [[Houthi movement|Houthi government]] deported all remaining Jews in Yemen except for 4 elderly community members who were too old or infirmed to be relocated The total of expelled Jews is 13;according to one report there are six Jews left behind including one woman; her brother; 3 others, and Levi Salem Marahbi (who has been imprisioned for helping smuggle a Torah scroll out of Yemen)[Times of Israel](It is also estimated Jewish women married to Muslins are left behind)
