P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

I have to say the History of your family line is amazing. How long did it take you to return to Judaism may I ask? Do you have any brothers or sisters and have they done the same? -User: olockers

Hello. Thank you for your kind words. If your question is when did I make Teshuvah, it was about 6 years ago. If your question is the time frame I was a Ba'al Teshuvah about 5 months, mainly to show the Rabbis that worked with me that I had already known Torah, Halakhah, and Teimani and Sepahardi Minhag. I am an only child. We have always had a mixed family. Part of my family were Orthodox, and another part of my family is Coservative/Reform.--EhavEliyahu 18:38, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Greetings

Mr. EhavEliyahu, I am interested in your point of view concerning the genetic similarity between the Beta Israel and Yemenit Jews. What do you think of Yemenit Arab and Yemenit Jews genetic similarity. I think they both once were the same tribe. What do you think on this matter? Thanks. --Faikpro (talk) 19:51, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Questions about Howard Plummer

Greeting Ehav,

It's interesting that some research I am doing has come across your expertise. I am trying to find out some information about Howard Plummer. According to what I found he joined Sigma at Wilberforce and then relocated to the Norfolk area. Church of God and Saints of Christ was based out of this area. There was also a prominent lawyer name T.H. Reid that was a Sigma man who lived in the area. My chapter Beta Sigma was established early 1900's. LF Morse was here until 1918 as well as a college prep teacher.

Jews of Bilad el-Sudan

Hello my Senegalese cousin and my Jewish friend. I noticed you have contributed immensely on this article. I have left a comment on the talk page regarding the over-categorization.

Replaceable fair use File:A Yemenite Habani family celebrating Passover.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:A Yemenite Habani family celebrating Passover.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:54, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Where are the Yemenite Torah scrolls on gevil from?

Hi Ehav. Thank you for your great work. You have contributed a photo of Yemenite Torah scrolls (Sfarim Torah) on gevil from "my Beth Knesset", but without explicitly indicating what synagogue that is. Several pages are using the picture, most writing that it's from "Rambam Synagogue in Jerusalem". There is no such synagogue in Jerusalem (Rambam = Moshe ben Maimon, Maimonides), only a quite famous Ramban Synagogue (Ramban = Moshe ben Nachman, Nachmanides). I assumed that one is meant, and have modified the caption to Ramban Synagogue, but I need to have your explicit confirmation, otherwise I need to remove this part of the caption altogether. In your place, I would modify the file name to the specific name of the synagogue, so there's no doubt about it anymore. The better and more precise the caption, the more a picture can be used. Thank you! Arminden (talk) 11:45, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Greetings, this is Ehav. Sorry I didn't notice your post in 2019. I haven't been writing on Wiki for a few years. Concerning the Rambam Beith Keneseth. Our Beith Keneseth is in Qatamonim. See pictures below of the location.

בית כנסת רמב"ם בקטמונים 192.56.175.2 (talk) 06:00, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I have learned from a fellow editor, Davidbena, that there is indeed a Yemenite Rambam Synagogue in Jerusalem - in Nahalat Ahim. I am sure that is the one you are going to. Can you please add "Nahalat Ahim" to the caption please? Thank you! The fact is, LOTS of people simply mistake Ramban for Rambam or mistype it, and your synagogue is not very well known, so it can be confusing.
Do you maybe have some details about the age of the scrolls? "200 years old" sounds a bit generic. Thank you! Arminden (talk) 13:00, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

There aren't a lot of details about the scroll. Essentially, it is about 200 years old and was brought from Yemen by Rabbi Mosheh Giyath, probably around 1950's, who was the Rabbi of the Beith Keneseth Rambam until he passed away about 8 years ago. Until he passed away, Rabbi Giyath was one of the last living students of Rabbi Yihhyeh Qafahh. From what I was told by one person was that the sofer of the scroll was from the Sharabi family. That was information I got from the people who were there when I took the picture.192.56.175.2 (talk) 06:00, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
