Summary: this book is not transexual
Comment: This movie and book is not about lesbian or transexual. Rather how women were treated in Judiasm. More about feminism. I suggest you go on jewish websites on woman and jewish society. A woman could not study with men, men can't touch women and that still happens today in different orthodox sects,hassidic,or labavitch. Women dont study with men only with women, but that is new, women are still separated by a curtain because this will distract men with their prayers. etc

Summary: I haven't read the book
Comment: As I said, I haven't read the book. However, I saw the movie and knew nothing of what the book version had to say. It never ocurred to me that she,Yentl, had any identity crisis of any kind. She was a woman ahead of her time who just wanted to study the bible with the same freedom that Men had and still have. I am not Jewish, but Christian, and I could well identify with her thirst for knowledge. I don't KNOW what IBS had in mind but I think we all pretty much have to draw our own conclusions.

Summary: AWESOME BOOK - AWESOME MOVIE
Comment: There is a review on this site, dreamed up by some idiot who saw this movie and book, as being about a transsexual. Said something about mistakes that God made, etc. That person should be shot ! The story is about how women were oppressed, not allowed to study, only to read "picture books". It told of a courageous who knew his daughter had a thirst for knowledge and taught her in secret. When he passed away, she had no choice, she had to get an education....she was a beautiful, intelligent woman, not content to JUST cook and clean house. She wanted, needed to learn. She is to be applauded, not called a transsexual. She was always a woman...never was that in doubt. Meeting her learning partner, falling in love with him, afraid to tell him the truth, that she was a woman, made for an incredible and moving story. YENTL is my second favourite movie of all time. I have seen it 132 times, and know the lyrics to all the songs...and all the dialogue. (I give it more than 5 stars)
