Jewish communities around the world.
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.

HaMizrachi seeks to spread Torat Eretz Yisrael throughout the world. HaMizrachi also contains articles, opinion pieces and advertisements that represent the diversity of views and
PRESIDENT interests in our communities. These do not necessarily reflect any official position of Mizrachi or its branches. If you don't want to keep HaMizrachi, you can double-wrap it before
Dr. Chana Gelb disposal, or place it directly into genizah (sheimos). HaMizrachi is available to read online at mizrachi.org/hamizrachi.
