A Family Story of Indigenous Jews 

The film follows Rabbi Gadi Capela, a Columbia University student during the October 7 riots, as he shares his family’s exodus from Yemen during Operation On Wings of Eagles. Highlighting the experiences of over a million Middle Eastern Jews, the film challenges the narrative of Jews as foreign colonialists, emphasizing their indigenous roots and enduring connection to the Land of Israel.
Premiered at Columbia on the Day to Mark the Departure and Expulsion of Jews from Arab Countries, the film and discussion also explore the historical
Jewish-Muslim relations.
