"Mizrach" (east in Hebrew) begins with the letter 'Mem' and comes from the root "to cast forth rays" as the sun does each morning.    From Biblical times to the present, Jews have faced Jerusalem when they pray.    As Jews moved westward, away from Israel, east came to symbolize Jerusalem, the source of Jewish faith and national memory.
