Last night I attended a Yemenite Jewish wedding. The invitation informed me I would be attending a "Talbis", but when I googled this could not find any information whatsoever. The custom pertains only to the community of Aden. I believe it should be documented on the web, so I added it to the end of the Yemenite wedding customs section. The picture at http://www.bhol.co.il/article.aspx?id=28876 might be uploadable, but I don't know for sure if it's not copyright - the Hebrew article gives no name to the photographer but it is a news website.

It doesn't mention anything about how Yemenite Jews discriminated against in Israel, and no the yemeni government didn't go to extreme measure to keep them as a matter of fact they want them leave.[hilarious 1][hilarious 2] This article is heavily biased especially the section "Muslim Jewish relationship". I don't know what History book is he reading but Yemen was not occupied by Arabs. Yemen is occupying the southern half of the Arabian peninsula and converted to Islam from paganism in 7th century without a war. Mohammed sent a message to the Kings of Himyar ( As most Jews were living under their protection) stating that a Jew may stay on his religion as long as he/she pay their "jizya" (and Muslims have to pay Zakat). The himyrate Kings were the ones who sent to Mohammed telling him that they had converted to islam and willing to kill Al-Aswad Al-Ansi (who expelled the Persians and some Jews from yemen and claimed prophecy).
A lot of things mentioned here need to be validated.
"a new status of "Dhimmi" (or heretic)"! Are you kidding me? This is just an example of how this article is being used to further agenda with no regard to accuracy.
