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.
