YENTL

the long version

Yentl the Yeshiva Boy by Isaac Bashevis Singer and Antonio Frasconi (Illustrator).Recognizing that Yentyl seems to have the soul and disposition of a man, her father studies the Torah and other holy books with her. When he dies, Yentyl feels that she no longer has a reason to remain in the village, and so, late one night, she cuts off her hair, dresses as a young man, and sets out to find a yeshiva where she can continue her studies and live secretly as a man. . .Artes / Aventura / Cinema / Dram
