====Shami====
The Shami Jews (from Arabic ''ash-Sham'', the north, referring to Palestine or [[Damascus]]) represent those who accepted the Sephardic rite, after being exposed to new inexpensive, typeset prayer books brought from Israel and the Sephardic diaspora by envoys and merchants in the late 17th century and 18th century.<ref name="Berachyahu">{{cite book |last1=Tobi |first1=Yosef |editor1-first=Berachyahu |editor1-last=Lifshitz |title=The Jewish Law Annual |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Gt_FwomH-aYC&q=Shami+yemenite+jews&pg=PT253 |access-date=November 20, 2018 |volume=15 |year=2004 |publisher=[[Routledge]] |isbn=9781134298372 |page=PT253 |chapter=Caro's ''Shulhan Arukh'' Versus Maimonides' ''Mishne Torah'' in Yemen |quote=Two additional factors played a crucial role in the eventual adoption by the majority of Yemenite Jewry of the new traditions, traditions that originate, for the most part, in the land of Israel and the Sefardic communities of the Diaspora. One was the total absence of printers in Yemen: no works reflecting the local (''baladi'') liturgical and ritual customs could be printed, and they remained in manuscript. By contrast, printed books, many of which reflected the Sefardic (''shami'') traditions, were available, and not surprisingly, more and more Yemenite Jews preferred to acquire the less costly and easier to read printed books, notwithstanding the fact that they expressed a different tradition, rather than their own expensive and difficult to read manuscripts. The second factor was the relatively rich flow of visitors to Yemen, generally emissaries of the Jewish communities and academies in the land of Israel, but also merchants from the Sefardic communities. […] By this slow but continuous process, the ''Shami'' liturgical and ritual tradition gained every more sympathy and legitimacy, at the expense of the ''baladi''.}}</ref><ref name="Simon">{{cite book |last1=Simon |first1=Reeva S. |last2=Laskier |first2=Mikha'el M. |last3=Reguer |first3=Sara |title=The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa in modern times |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tMM1L4YqASgC&q=Shami+yemenite+jews&pg=PA398 |year=2003 |publisher=[[Columbia University Press]] |isbn=9780231107969 |page=398 |access-date=November 20, 2018}}</ref> The "local rabbinic leadership resisted the new versions....Nevertheless, the new prayer books were widely accepted."<ref name="Simon" /> As part of that process, the Shami modified their rites to accommodate the usages of the [[Isaac Luria|Ari]] to the maximum extent. The text of the Shami siddur now largely follows the [[Sephardic Judaism|Sephardic]] tradition, though the pronunciation, chant and customs are still Yemenite in flavour.
