Based in Jerusalem and with branches across
the globe, Mizrachi – an acronym for merkaz
ruchani (spiritual center) – was founded in 1902
by Rabbi Yitzchak Yaakov Reines, and is led today
by Rabbi Doron Perez. Mizrachi’s role was then
and remains with vigor today, to be a proactive
partner and to take personal responsibility
in contributing to the collective destiny of
Klal Yisrael through a commitment to Torah,
the Land of Israel and the People of Israel.
