Mizrahi culture

Mizrahi culture refers to the traditions, music, cuisine, and customs of Jewish communities originating from Middle Eastern and North African countries such as Iraq, Morocco, Yemen, and Iran. These communities have unique languages, dance styles, religious practices, and festive celebrations that reflect their historical and geographic roots. Mizrahi culture is characterized by rich oral storytelling, vibrant music—like soulful melodies and rhythmic rhythms—and flavorful dishes using spices and ingredients typical of their regions. It represents a vital part of Jewish diversity, blending ancient traditions with modern influences, and fosters a strong sense of communal identity and heritage.
