Lida Baarova (Czech actress)
Czech actress (b. 1914, Prague, Austro-Hungarian Empire [now Czech Rep.]—d. Oct. 27, 2000, Salzburg, Austria), appeared in a number of successful German films in the 1930s, including Barcarole (1935) and Die Stunde der Versuchung (1936), but her career was damaged by her affair with Nazi minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels. The affair ended when Adolf Hitler refused to give Goebbels permission to divorce his wife and marry Baarova. After the war she was suspected of being a Nazi spy and spent two years in jail. She later returned to acting and appeared in Spanish and Italian films, including Federico Fellini’s I vitelloni (1953).

Mizraḥi (Jewish religious movement)
(Hebrew: “Spiritual Centre”), religious movement within the World Zionist Organization and formerly a political party within Zionism and in Israel. It was founded in 1902 by Rabbi Yitzḥaq YaКїaqov Reines of Lida, Russia, to promote Jewish religious education within the framework of Zionist nationalism; its traditional slogan was “The Land of Israel, for the people of Israel, according to the Torah of Israel.” It became the principal party of the Orthodox religious Zionists.
Though a minority party, Mizraḥi wielded a disproportionate influence in Zionism, because of both its religiohistorical weight and its hold on the masses of Orthodox Jews in eastern Europe. In post-World War I Palestine, it played an active role in the Jewish community, establishing religious schools and firmly backing the sole authority of the chief rabbinate over matters of personal status among Jews, particularly marriage and divorce.
Younger Orthodox elements founded ha-PoКїel ha-Mizraḥi (the Mizraḥi Worker Party) in 1922. After the creation of Israel in 1948, the Mizraḥi became an influential partner with the Mapai party in coalition governments with the Israel Labour Party, then the country’s largest political party, which could not obtain an absolute majority in the Knesset (Parliament) without allying with the Mizraḥi.
The Mizraḥi movement united with ha-PoКїel ha-Mizraḥi in 1956 to form the National Religious Party (Miflegit Datit Leumit). This Mizraḥi bloc consistently received about 10 percent of the votes cast in Knesset elections and participated in almost every coalition government from the founding of Israel in 1948. It was generally flexible on defense and foreign-policy matters in return for the coalition partner’s support of Mizraḥi’s Orthodox...
