Soon more members of what many believe to be the remnants of the Lost Tribe of Dan will be coming to Israel from the deso- late howling desert wastlands of the Protectorate of Aden. transfer of 271 of the tribe to Israel. Officials know, however, that somewhere in the wastelands in small fortress-like villages nest- led in the vast 58,000 square- mile Hadramaut Desert long bearded Jews still lobk to the heavens and pray for the day when God will return them to the Land of Jacob. These are the Habanim, a group of Jews the Yemenites call "Bnai Ben," the Sons of the Son. Unlike their Yemenite neighbors, the Habanim, who come from Hadramaut, in the eastern part of the Aden Pro- tectorate, are tall and strong. Like the Yemenites, they are mainly skilled craftsMen, sil- versmiths and artisans. Season's Greetings Completely cut off from civiliza- tion and living by themselves in small isolated oases in the formidable desertlands of Aden, the Habanim dwelled for count- less centuries without contact with world Jewry. But their knowledge of Judaism and He- brew is perfect. Literacy among both men and women is high. So isolated in their desert fortresses have the Habanim Jews been, that very few speak Arabic, the language of the lands which surround the desert fortresses of these ancient Jews. Hebrew is their tongue. And their knowledge of the official language of their new land helps overcome a difficulty most Euro- pean Jews face upon their entry to the Jewish State. The Habanim look very much like a page out of the ancient history. Attired in gay- ly colored cloth, the tribesmen sport flowing beards and side curls. The women are hand- somely bedecked with jewelry and valuable silver ornaments. It was not until six months ago that heavily armed louries of the British Army pierced the desert and reached the Haba- nim.
