Founded in 1902, it was the only religious movement to partner with the Zionist enterprise. Its name Mizrachi is a combination of two Hebrew words, Merkaz Ruchani – meaning a spiritual center. Mizrachi’s role was then and remains with vigor today, is to be a proactive partner and to take personal responsibility in contributing to the collective destiny of Klal Yisrael through a commitment to a holistic and inclusive Torah approach to life.

Whether it is between the spiritual and the secular, the Modern and the Orthodox, the Religious and the Zionist, the new and the old, the individual and the collective, the national and the universal, Israel and the diaspora, Mizrachi sees itself as a bridge to weave together all these values into a wholesome rich spiritual perspective and life. We are driven by our core values of the Torah, Land of Israel, People of Israel, with a commitment to the universal principles of Derech Eretz. The movement is currently led by Rabbi Doron Perez.
