McGrath, The Yemeni, Moroccan, or Iraqi Jewish music would be under the "Mizrachi" heading. The Hebrew word Mizrach is translated as east, hence Mizrachi is eastern. The Hasidic songs on this site are mostly from American singers and composers, including many who are in fact anti-zionist. Of course the Israeli section are songs composed in Israel after statehood in 1948, some contemporary and some real oldies. SOL ZELLER
