any, Jews, said Ms.
Neckritz, who explained
that Operation Magic
Carpet — Israel's 1949 res-
cue of thousands of
Yemenite Jews — left most
of the Jewish community in
the northern part of the
country.
Adding to Ms. Neckritz's
sense of isolation were in-
cidents of anti-Semitism and
the intense propaganda
against Israel. While so-
cializing, Ms. Neckritz
would hear Jews attacked as
cheap or money- grubbing or
land-grabbing.
Sometimes, while walking
through campus, she would
see anti- Israel posters
plastered on trees and
windows by supporters of the
Palestine Liberation Organ-

Jewish-owned stores — con-
tinued to keep her own Jew-
ishness a secret.
Each of the guards
eavesdrops on conversations
"and makes sure that
nothing is said that he
doesn't want to be said," Ms.
Neckritz said, explaining
that verboten subjects in-
clude living conditions and
freedom of religion.

She made her second visit
to Sadaa in the company of a
Dutch woman, who, accor-
ding to Ms. Neckritz, had
been acting on her own for
nine years as a courier of
messages between Yemenite
Jews and their relatives in
Israel.
The two met after Ms.
Neckritz accompanied her
class to a dance contest and
saw a group of Moslem
students unknowingly danc-
