An ancient Jewish tribe numbering 75 souls in all, which has lived for centuries in Southern Arabia, was discovered recently when three of its envoys reached Aden after a three-week trip on foot.
“We have heard that the Jews are returning to the Holy Land, Why should we be left behind?” they announced to a representative of the Jewish Agency. The Agency is trying to arrange admission of the entire tribe to Palestine.
