Yemenite silversmithing is a historic craft practiced by the Jewish communities of Yemen. It is especially known for its filigree work, which produces intricate designs using fine silver wire. The results are ornate jewelry and other cultural and religious items. The traditional techniques are often passed down through generations.

Yemenite Jews have practiced silversmithing since at least the 1700s at a time when Muslims did not engage in this work, and their products were highly sought after in the southern Arabian Peninsula and beyond.

Following the mass exodus of Yemenite Jews in the mid-20th century, the majority fleeing to Israel, Yemenite silversmiths have continued practicing and passing down their craft. It remains a renowned aspect of Jewish artistic heritage.

דליה, מה את עושה שאת בחופש?

כל הבוקר אני מנקה את בית, ועוזרת עם אחיינית שלי, ובודקת שהכלב שלנו לא החליט לשבת עליה, ואז הם הולכים, ואני אוכלת עוגיות ושותה תכוס השני של קפה, בלי לאכול כי אני כבר בראבק, ואז לא יודעת איך הגענו לזה, אבל אמא שלי שואלת על תימנים ולמה אובססיבים עם תהילים, אז פתאום כל המשפחה שלי רואים סרטון ואז סרט ביוטוב על תימנים והשירים שלהם, והריקוד, ואז אני עושה שיחת ווידאו עם הידיד שלי התמני להגיד לו שבא לי ללמוד את כל הריקודים, ואז אני נדבקת לגיטרה שלי, זוכרת לאכול ב18:00 בערב, וממשיכה ללמוד מוזיקה ופתאום וזה 2 לפנות בוקר ואני עדיין עם הגטרה, מנסה לסדר לעצמי טאבים ומילים לכל השירים בעולם. זה היום יומי פחות או יותר 😂😂

A side effect that no one tells about trying and hoping and wishing to be loved by people who are expected to, but just don't love you, is that gives you a wall. I don't know why, but I have a hard time loving people fully and loudly and unapologetically. Yet, the people who love me like this are my favorite people. No games, no nitpicking labels. I'm so used to people being confusing and nitpicking what I say, making it something I didn't mean, or a joke. I don't like that way of loving me. Where if I say boyfriend instead of boy friend they get uncomfortable. I want the never uncomfortable loving me.

I have trouble showering the people I love with love and showing love, because of a wall I have up. I have it since I didn't get all the love I wanted. That love that has pain. I need someone who really is ready to shower me with love I have an easy time feeling. The love that feels like sweet potato ravioli. It's warm and soft and comfortable and easy. No crunch no spice, just all warm and soft and creamy. I need to work on being about to shower people with love like the yeminite do.

My dear sweet dalya

You were five and you didn't realize anything with your family, but u felt it. You feel things like tension or discomfort energy in the air. You are very sensitive to that. You don't realize yet, but you will go through many years of many people who are supposed to love you- not loving you. And you might wonder what you did to deserve it, you might think you did something, you might just wonder why you feel different, you might feel lonely or angry or jealous or sad. Those are all normal emotions. Noone explained it to you, or validated the truth and reality so you could find comfort. You have to understand the truth, and then work on repairing the damage. So I'm talking to the five year old in you. As for the explanation I'm hugging you, I'm saying I'm sorry that this happened to you. I'm sitting down on the hardwood floor with you, holding your hands while I say this. Your family doesn't want anything to do with you. You are right with how you feel. But always know, this is a decision they chose, it has nothing to do with you. It says nothing about who you are, be it when ma didn't want you to come, when she didn't have the closest relationship with you, cheri, your cousins, pa, Daddys who family. It says everything about who they are, and nothing about who you are. It's a lot of pain, I get it. No one taught you how to love completely. And very few people in your life love you completely. But I love you. I will hug you as long as you need. I will give you sweet potato ravioli love because I know that pain. I'm not shying away from you or the pain. It socks. You wanted love from so many people and you didn't get it. But it doesn't need to affect you if you give love to yourself. Put down the war, cuz there's a five year old girl in you who needs an all incompassing womb warm soft love. I'm so sorry sweetie, I love you.

זה די מדהים שגל גדות היא אשכנזיה פר־אקסלנס מכל הצדדים, אבל איכשהו היא יצאה שחומה ומזרחית למראה. כאילו זה שהיא גדלה בראש העין עשה אותה תימניה באוסמוזה.

A young Yemenite Jewish silversmith sells the handcrafted goods of his family business, including beads, necklaces, earrings, bangles, amulets and a jambiya or men's dagger including an ornate sheath with the accompanying belt. Though the ornamental scabbard sheaths were often crafted by Jewish silversmiths, only Arabs in Yemen were permitted to wear these daggers. In the background Jewish men are seen smoking shisha tobacco and possibly chewing Khat with little girls around. Yemen, 1980s. Only one Jew is known to remain in Yemen today.
