Mizrahi Jews

Mizrahi Jews are Jewish communities that originate from Middle Eastern and North African countries, such as Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and Morocco. Unlike Ashkenazi Jews, who primarily come from Eastern Europe, Mizrahi Jews have distinct cultural practices, languages, and traditions influenced by their diverse environments. After the establishment of Israel in 1948, many Mizrahi Jews emigrated there, often facing challenges of integration. Today, Mizrahi culture contributes significantly to Israeli society, with a rich heritage in music, cuisine, and religious practices that reflect their historical experiences and regional backgrounds.
