He was raised in Israel and in 1986, at age 18, he was drafted into the Israeli military where he served in the Israeli Air Force. After his military service, he left for New York City to work in the field of finance. In 1994, Rabbi Mizrachi decided to dedicate his life to raising Jewish awareness among secular Jews. It was in that year that he began coordinating lectures and seminars among Israelis in the New York – New Jersey area.
In 1997, he left the world of finance and began full-time learning and teaching in a yeshivah in Monsey, NY. In 2002, Rabbi Mizrachi, along with Yuval Ovadia, a former HBO director, produced an impressive film called "Divine Information". This successful video was duplicated and distributed to more than 200,000 people. During the day, for years Rabbi Mizrachi was teaching Gemara in Yeshivat Ohr Yisrael in Monsey; but, today due to his increased kiruv work, he dedicates all his time to the public.
As of 2011, Rabbi Mizrachi has spoken in over 4000 lectures worldwide as well as participated in many weekend seminars, radio shows and other Hebrew and English events in which he enriches the knowledge and awareness of Judaism among thousands of Jews who are lacking in Jewish awareness. In 2004 he started his website, Divine Information that has over 700 video and audio lectures with viewers from more than 50 countries around the world.
