World Mizrachi

Mizrachi inspires people with a sense of commitment to the Torah, the Jewish people and the Land of Israel. Mizrachi is the global Religious Zionist movement, spreading Torat Eretz Yisrael across the world, and strengthening the bond between the international Jewish community and the State of Israel. 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.
“Our goal is to ensure that our programming relates to the spirit and meaning of the day,” said Rabbi Doron Perez.
World Mizrachi wants groups to understand the experiences of Israelis, as well as the goals for healing and rebuilding that are already underway.
“While it is certainly challenging to leave Israel at this time, we also believe strongly that our work in communities will be more important than ever,” said Eitan and Rivka Lichtman.
Topics broadly focused on Jewish education, Jewish identity, the future of Jewish education in Latin America and the relationship between Israel and the Central and South American Jewish diaspora.
Back-to-back events at Heichal Shlomo, held separately for men and women, were awash with music, singing, dancing and food to commemorate the anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.
“Mizrachi’s Israel360 program is the most experiential way we can bring the flavor and excitement of Torat Eretz Yisrael to our religious Zionist communities around the United States during this season,” said Religious Zionists of America Executive Vice President Rabbi Ari Rockoff.
“For the first time in our 120-year history, the North American religious Zionist organizations are operating as one collective voice, allowing us to create the roadmap that will guide the next generation of Jewish leaders,” said RZA Executive Vice President Rabbi Ari Rockoff.
What first began during the darker times of the pandemic has already raised a combined $11 million in vital funds for the participating schools from previous campaigns.
Added costs, lost revenue from pandemic has put financial pressure on many yeshivot, seminaries.
