“Yentl” is Barbra Streisand’s dream movie. She’s been trying to make it for 10 years, ever since she bought the rights to the Isaac Bashevis Singer story it’s based on. Hollywood told her she was crazy. Hollywood was right — on the irrefutable logical ground that a woman in her 40s can hardly be expected to be convincing as a 17-year-old boy.
In an Ashkenazic shtetl in Poland, Yentl Mendel is the boyishly klutzy daughter and only child of long widowed Rebbe ("Talmud Teacher") Mendel, who teaches Talmud (a codification of Jewish Law) to local boys - and to Yentl, but secretly because girls were not allowed to learn the law in those days.
Overview. Rebbe Mendel is a single father who teaches the Talmud, a sacred text of Judaism, to the boys of his small Polish town. Behind closed doors, he also instructs his daughter, Yentl, despite the fact that girls are forbidden to study religious scripture.
