The Teimani Experience

The Teimani Experience immerses visitors in the sights, sounds, and even smells of the Yemenite Jewish culture, including the actual room (complete with ostrich eggs and rose water) recreated in Israel by Yemenite women from Sana’a who continued the tradition of making the birth mother the center of attention after both she and her newborn survived for thirty days.

This exhibition is part of The Yemenite Conference, the world’s first symposium on shared Jewish and Muslim cultural values in Yemen. The Yemenite Conference, which will be held at The Center for Jewish History (3-5 June) and United Nations (5 June – Closing Ceremony), will feature presentations by over 30 prominent scholars from four continents, as well as cultural workshops and performances by Israel’s top Yemenite musicians and more than 70 Israeli-Yemenite dance troupe and choir members.

Viewing hours:
Sunday: 11AM – 5PM
Monday and Wednesday: 11AM – 8PPM
Tuesday and Thursday: 11AM – 5PM
Friday: 11AM – 3PM

The Teimani Experience is proudly presented by The American Sephardi Federation, E’eleh BeTamar, and Institute for Semitic Studies, in conjunction with Yeshiva University Museum.
