Hi, I have started a Wikidata-item on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q132592015, Could you please fill in birth-date etc, if you have it? cheers, Huldra (talk) 20:50, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

​Huldra, I'll check out the link. Just off the cuff, I knew Yosef Salah personally in Jerusalem. I took photos with him. He lived to be 111 years old. How do I know this? I once met a relative of his in the Israeli town of Petach Tikvah or Ramleh, I can't remember which. He told me that when there was the great famine in Sana'a, Yemen, back in 1905, Yosef came to live with his family and that Yosef was already 17 years old, which would mean that he was born in the year 1888 of our Common Era. He died in 1999. He was very knowledgeable about many events, and he even told me that he thought that the genealogical records of many ancient Jewish families in Sana'a were stored at the Great Mosque in Sana'a. At any rate, this remains to be verified. Yosef Salah's sister, Bracha, married Rabbi Yosef Qafih. Many of Yosef Salah's children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren now go by the surname of "Tzadok." Among Jews in Yemen, the Salah family and the Shar'abi family were very large and numerous families. One of the famous rabbis of Yemen, named Yihya Saleh (Maharitz) claimed that his family was a descendant of Ram, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, the son of the patriarch Jacob, all of blessed memory.Davidbena (talk) 00:35, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I have just now added on Wikidata his Hebrew name, as well as the year of his birth and passing. Thanks, Huldra, for taking an interest in him.Davidbena (talk) 00:48, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, interesting history, I guess Bracha was his half-sister? She was 34 years younger than him. Also, could you please give the English name of https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16130180 Thanks, in advance,Huldra (talk) 23:01, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Either that, or she may have been one of his youngest siblings. In Yemen, some Jews took in marriage more than one wife.Davidbena (talk) 17:21, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
