Mizrahi Jews, Mizrahim (Hebrew: מזרחים‎‎) or al-Mashriqiyyūn (Arabic: المشرقيون‎‎), also referred to as Edot HaMizrach (עֲדוֹת-הַמִּזְרָח‎; "Communities of the East"; Mizrahi Hebrew: ʿEdot(h) Ha(m)Mizraḥ), Bene HaMizrah ("Sons of the East") or Oriental Jews, are Jews descended from local Jewish communities of the Middle East from biblical times into the modern era. They include descendants of Babylonian Jews and Mountain Jews from modern Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, Kuwait, Dagestan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Uzbekistan, the Caucasus, Kurdistan, Afghanistan, India and Pakistan. Yemeni Jews are sometimes also included, but their history is separate from Babylonian Jewry.
