In this special episode of Wondering Jews, Mijal and Noam break down a major aspect of Israeli elections that Western observers have missed: the Mizrahi vote. What defines Mizrahi Jews, what are their values, and what do they want to see in Israel's leadership? Mijal expands on her Op-Ed for the Wall Street Journal, arguing that these questions are now more important than ever. With the election picture still cloudy, one thing is certain: Mizrahi Jews will be a crucial voice for Israel's future.
