Why did Mizrahi Jews start?

Answer 1

The question does not really make sense. Mizrahi Jews did not just start existing. The Jewish communities of the various cities of "Islamdom" began to notice that they had some cultural similarities relative to the Jews of Europe and began to call themselves Sephardim after the community in Spain which led the cultural development of Judaism in Islamdom. The term Mizrahi began to be applied when Sephardic Jews from outside of Spain realized that they had a unique modern cultural heritage from their Spanish brothers and began to call themselves Mizrahim. The term became popular when it was used in Zionists to refer to the indigenous Jewish population of the Middle East (in order to distinguish them from the Ashkenazic communities from which they hailed).

Answer 2

Mizrahi Jews started due to various factors such as economic opportunities, political instability, persecution, and religious freedom. Some Mizrahi Jews migrated to escape oppressive regimes or to seek better economic conditions, while others were forced to leave their homes due to persecution or expulsion. Additionally, Mizrahi Jews have a long history of cultural and trade connections within the Middle East and North Africa, leading to ongoing migration and movement within the region.
