Nombre des enfants enlevé·es étaient né·es dans des familles d'immigrant·es récent·es, vivant dans les camps d'absorption mal entretenus et isolés où elleux ont été installé·es par les autorités de l'État à leur arrivée.
"Il n'arrivait pas à comprendre comment une blessure aussi mineure avait pu causer la mort d'un jeune enfant en une seule journée. Mon grand-père, qui ne connaissait pas les coutumes locales, ne parlait que l'arabe yéménite et (selon mon oncle Yitzhak) portait encore le deuil de sa femme, a été renvoyé au camp et n'a pas cherché à en savoir plus. Comme dans tant d'autres histoires similaires, il n'y avait ni corps ni tombe. Mais des années plus tard, comme ils l'ont découvert, l'ordre de conscription militaire de l'enfant est arrivé à leur porte".

Activists are raising awareness of the tragic kidnapping of thousands of Mizrahi Jewish babies in the 1950s through continued action and savvy social media organizing, writes Grad Fellow Vincent Calvetti-Wolf.
Many of the kidnapped children were born to families of recent immigrants, living in the poorly maintained and isolated absorption camps where they were settled by state authorities upon their arrival.
"He was informed that the child had died; he couldn’t understand how such a minor injury caused a young child to die in one day. My grandfather, who didn’t know local customs and spoke only Yemenite Arabic and according to my uncle Yitzhak was still in mourning over the passing of his wife, was returned to the camp and did not inquire any further. Just like in so many similar stories, there was no body and there was no grave. But years later, as they found out, the child’s military conscription order arrived at their doorstep."

📢#OutNow in #OA: 'The #Linguistic Classification of the #Reading Traditions of #Biblical #Hebrew: A Phyla-and-Waves Model' by Benjamin Kantor.
There are a whole host of modern reading traditions of Biblical #Hebrew, from #Ashkenazi, to #Sephardi, and #Yemenite. Despite the rich diversity of traditions of #Biblical Hebrew at our fingertips, the #linguistic relationship between them has never been mapped out. In this book the phyla-and-waves methodology, which has been used for Semitic language classification, is used to map out the relationship between the main reading traditions of Biblical Hebrew throughout history.

In recent decades, the field of Biblical Hebrew philology and linguistics has been witness to a growing interest in the diverse traditions of Biblical Hebrew. Indeed, while there is a tendency for many students and scholars to conceive of Biblical Hebrew as equivalent with the Tiberian pointing of the Leningrad Codex as it appears in Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS), there are many other important reading traditions attested throughout history.
