%X This  paper  observes  the  activities  of  two  young  Hadhrami  preachers  in contemporary  Indonesia. The  first,  Ustadzah  Halimah  Alaydrus  (Jakarta),  runs some  regular  meetings  and  majelis  shalawat.  The  second,  Ustadz  Muhammad Anies  Alhabsyi  (Solo),  leads  a  weekly  study  group  (majelistaklim).  The  paper focuses on how the two preachers adapt their preachingstrategies, styles, and themes in light of the changing public demands. Concurrently, it explores how both actors use different social media platforms to attract wider, and younger, audience.  By  comparing  the  two  cases,  the  paper  offerssome  grounded observations  on  how  contemporary  Hadhrami  preachersreconfigure  their religious  authority  in  relation  to  the  changing  proclivities  of  their  Indonesian Muslim audience. Keywords: Indonesian Hadhramis, changing religious authority
