Mizrah
Mizrah is the Hebrew word for "east" and the direction that Jews in the Diaspora face during prayer. Jewish law prescribes that Jews face the site of the Temple in Jerusalem during prayer. The word "mizrach" also refers to the wall of the synagogue that faces east, where seats are reserved for the rabbi and other dignitaries. In addition, "mizrach" refers to an ornamental wall plaque used to indicate the direction of prayer in Jewish homes. Many historians and archeologists believe this to be one of the most important innovations of the Babylonian exile, which enabled the Jews to survive while their fellow captives culturally vanished. As Shaye Cohen put it:
