Mizrahi Jews, Mizrahim , also referred to as Edot HaMizrach , Bene HaMizrah , or Oriental Jews, are descendants of local Jewish communities in the Middle East from biblical times into the modern era.

Yemenite Jews, as well as North African Jews are sometimes also included, but their histories are separate from Babylonian Jewry. The use of the term Mizrahi can be somewhat controversial. The term Mizrahim is sometimes applied to descendants of Maghrebi and Sephardi Jews, who had lived in North Africa , the Sephardi-proper communities of Turkey, and the mixed Levantine communities of Lebanon, Israel, and Syria. Before the establishment of the state of Israel, Mizrahi Jews did not identify themselves as a separate Jewish subgroup.

That has resulted in a conflation of terms, particularly in Israel and in religious usage, with Sephardi being used in a broad sense and including Mizrahi Jews and North African Jews as well as Sephardim proper. From the point of view of the official Israeli rabbinate, any rabbis of Mizrahi origin in Israel are under the jurisdiction of the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel.
