Original Note:
Mizrahi originally referred to Jews of Eastern Islamic lands (Mashreq in Arabic) as opposed to Maaravi "Western" (Maghreb = N Africa) and Sefardi "Spanish", who came to Israel in 15th-20th centuries. Mizrahim came to Israel in the 20th c due to persecutions like the Farhud. https://www.mahj.org/en/permanent-collection/9-jews-levant-and-maghreb https://bethshalompgh.org/who-are-the-mizrahi-originally-published-october-25-26-2019/
