	>> Barbra Streisand Archives \| YENTL (1983)
		Barbra Streisand's "Yentl" is the story of a courageous young woman at the turn of the century who discovers that in matters of the heart and mind, nothing's impossible.
		Nehemiah Persoff appears as Yentl's father, a wise and sensitive scholar who has a profound effect upon his daughter's life, and Steven Hill is featured as Hadass' father, whose influence over his own daughter's desire to marry Avigdor changes Yentl's life forever.
		Because Yentl is trapped by her disguise and unable to reveal her identity, she retreats to an inner world through dramatic and beautifully crafted songs.

		Yentl unfortunately falls in love with Avigdor, who is not aware she is a woman.
		Oddly enough, Avigdor has strange thoughts and ideas regarding Yentl that are not approached until she finally confesses to him she is a woman, but that is later in the story.
		First with Yentl seeing how Avigdor could be taken with Hadass because of her devotion to his needs, then with the change when Hadass now is catering to Yentl,....

	Yentl (1983) - Channel 4 Film review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A labour of love for co-producer/director/star Barbra Streisand, Yentl took 15 years to make it to the screen; by the time it did the genre - historical romance with musical numbers - was almost past its sell-by date.
		Streisand plays Yentl, whose father has secretly tutored her in the Talmud - the primary source of Jewish religious law - throughout her childhood.
		Love-triangle shenanigans ensue, with Yentl breaking into song every so often to express the frustration of her position.

		That is the central situation in "Yentl." And when the critical moment came when Yentl had to decide what to do, I was quietly astonished to realize two things: (1) I did not have the slightest idea how this situation was going to turn out, and (2) I really cared about it.
		I was astonished because, quite frankly, I walked into "Yentl" expecting some kind of schmaltzy formula romance in which Yentl's "secret identity" was sort of a running gag.
		But "Yentl" takes its masquerade seriously, it treats its romances with the respect due to genuine emotion, and its performances are so good that, yes, I really did care.

		When I was working on the treatment of YENTL — I remember it was a 42-page treatment — it was before it was a musical, and I was trying to make it into a musical.
		Because she is subjected to so much adverse press, we thought it might interest you to know that during the last 3 months of rehearsal and filming, she has completely captivated us all.
		Yentl has a scene with Peshe, the lady in the Bakery, who flirts with Yentl.

		Die junge Jüdin Yentl mag sich nicht mit der Rolle abfinden, die scheinbar gottgewollt der Frau auferlegt ist.
		"Yentl" spielt "in einer Zeit, als das Studium der Wissenschaften noch den Männern vorbehalten war".
		Dennoch ist "Yentl" keineswegs ein Lehrstück mit emanzipatorischen Kampfparolen, sondern ein gefühlvoller Musikfilm und eine liebevolle Rückschau auf die Welt des osteuropäischen Judentums, die im Holocaust für immer unterging.

		Yup, Streisand is back and in Yentl she definitely gives a worthy performance.
		I think Yentl's father died and then she disguised herself as a boy and went into religious training.
		There she met Avigdor and fell in love with him, even though she was pretending to be a boy.

		Yentl is recalling a conversation with her father, "...her father used to say, 'Yentl, you have the soul of a man.' 'So why was I born a woman?' 'Even Heaven makes mistakes'"
		Yentl (Singer) observes that Hadass, "ordered the servant girl around, was forever engrossed in her storybooks, and changed her hairdo every week.
		Yentl's search is not a positive one, however, and she becomes even more perplexed, disillusioned, and dissatisfied.

	Yentl's Revenge: The Next Wave of Jewish Feminism edited by Danya Ruttenberg \| PopMatters Book Review
		The story tells the tale of a Jewish girl who dons men's attire and assumes a male persona in order to infiltrate the elitist world of the scholarly rabbis and study the ancient texts alongside the other boys.
		This third wave of Jewish feminists, however, have a different agenda on their minds than seizing the corporate reins of religious power and turning the tables on the males who've called the shots in their world.
		All the writers, regardless of their individual experiences, have found their perplexing, sometimes aggravating, sometimes backward and oppressive faith to be a channel to knowledge of self and knowledge of the divine.

	Yentl Movie, Review, Cast for Yentl \| TVGuide.com
		Isaac Bashevis Singer's beautiful short story "Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy" is turned into a musical ego trip in Barbra Streisand's directorial debut.
		Set in Eastern Europe in 1904, the story concerns the fortunes of Yentl (Streisand), a girl who wants to study the Torah.
		Strict Jewish law prohibits such knowledge for women, but Yentl won't give in to community pressure, so, after the death of her father, she disguises herself as a young man and leaves home, hoping to be accepted into a yeshiva.

	EULAR: Reverse Yentl Syndrome May Operate In Osteoporosis Prevention And Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Yentl syndrome occurs where a woman has to masquerade as a man to get the same treatment.
		In osteoporosis, a reverse Yentl syndrome operates, according to the researchers, because men with low energy fractures (ie, at the wrist), are not offered the same advice, investigations or treatment as are given to women to protect them from future life-threatening fractures.
		Women who fracture a wrist have an eight-fold increased risk of hip fracture compared to the general population, while in men, osteoporosis also carries an appreciable risk of hip fracture.

	Yentl: review on TheaterMania.com
		Written by Singer and Leah Napolin, the play was a critical and commercial success: A pro-feminist piece steeped in gender confusion as well as an attack on religious bigotry, it proved to be a magnet for controversy.
		After her father's death, Yentl runs away from her village dressed as a boy so that she might pass as a student.
		In a clever bit of flimflam, Yentl continues to get away with the deception because Hadass is as unworldly she is; Yentl can tell "his" bride anything about sex, and she will believe it.

		1983: With "Yentl," Streisand becomes the first woman to direct, co-write, produce and star in a major Hollywood movie; the film also won her Golden Globe for best director.
		Streisand has made 17 movies (and directed three of them: "Yentl," "The Prince of Tides" and "The Mirror Has Two Faces").
		"Yentl" (1983): Streisand became the butt of a lot of jokes for playing a much younger woman who disguises herself as a man so she can attend Yeshiva in turn-of-the-century Eastern Europe.
