Over the 117 years that have passed since that landmark date, Jewish Detroit has grown into one of the most vibrant communities anywhere. Not only have we witnessed the dramatic history of the 20th and early 21st centuries, we have actively participated in it by taking a central role in events such as the formation of the State of Israel and the rescue and resettlement of Jewish refugees from around the world. Over the years we have faced social, cultural and financial challenges and weathered a number of crises.

  • In 1949, Moshe Ben-David, Then 22 Years Old and Already An
    In 1949, Moshe Ben-David, then 22 years old and already an established jewelry maker by family tradition, immigrated from his ancestral home in Southern Yemen to the year-old State of Israel. His personal migration, part of a larger wave influenced by a Zionist zeal, was initiated and carried out by the Israeli government and the Jewish Agency that feared for the well-being of the community (Ben Zvi, 1949). The Jewish exodus from Yemen was sparked by the rising tides of nationalism, a political backlash to the failure of the Palestinian cause, and an anti- Semitic sentiment that had flared in the 1947 Aden riots. The perceived sense of immediate threat to the well-being of the community gave way to a decision to transport people to Israel as quickly as possible. The exodus from Yemen—simultaneously conducted in Iraq and subsequently in Iran, Morocco, and the majority of the Arab world—meant hastily leaving without gathering belongings, cultural artifacts, personal records, and documents. As people rushed from city centers to transitory and refugee camps, to makeshift airports, they carried only what they could. It is almost unfathomable that the flourishing Jewish Yemeni community—one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world, deeply entrenched in its territory, and holding a unique cultural and religious tradition—had all but disappeared in less than a year. Ancient Torah books, musical instruments, photographs, personal letters, heirloom rugs, silver, jewelry, and furniture were left behind, lost in transportation, or sold to fund a new beginning, causing a massive loss of community heritage and cultural knowledge (Meir-Glitzenstein, 2015, p.
