The Story of the Saliḥ/Zadok Families of Sana’a

The family traces its roots to the tribe of Judah through Obed ben Peretz, the ancestor of King David. The name Ṣaliḥ (צאלח) was Hebraicized to Zadok ( צדוק )when the family members made Aliyah in the 20th century. This is a direct translation of the Arabic, which means Zadik, righteous, but was modified so as not to sound arrogant.
