This is typical of ornate wedding gowns,
decorated with beads, amulets and coral,
worn by Jewish women from Yemen. Located in
the southwest corner of the Arabian Peninsula,
Yemen has been home to a Jewish community
since around the Second Temple period.
Beginning in 1882, numerous waves of
Yemenite immigrants began settling in the Land
of Israel, which today has its own Yemenite
dance troupe called Inbal.

H

ere's a fun way to learn about Jewish traditions and get
to know interesting figures from the past and present. All
you have to do is attach cardboard to the doll (figure
A), cut out and add a photograph of your face. Then cut out
costumes and see yourself as one of our guys or dolls. This
is a regular feature in AppleTree, and all costumes fit the
same figure. Keep cutting out the costumes and you'll
amass a great collection.
if you would like to see the attire of a famous Jewish per-
son here, just write and let us know. Weill do our best to repli-
cate an authentic outfit (or.at least one appropriate for the time
period) and include it on this page. Or, if someone in your fami-
ly has an interesting career, send a drawing our way. We might
be able to feature it (in any case, we would love to see it!).
