Directed, cowritten and starring Barbra Streisand, “YENTL” (1983) was adapted from Isaac Bashevis Singer’s story about a girl (Streisand) who defies tradition while debating Jewish law and theology with her beloved scholar-father. After her father’s death, Yentl disguises herself as a young man so she can continue her studies in yeshiva. Her deception involves her study partner (Mandy Patinkin) and his fiancee (Amy Irving). Featuring an Oscar-winning score by MIchel Legrand, Marilyn and Alan Bergman.
This special screening is made possible through the gracious cooperation of Laemmle Theatres and is presented in honor of Rabbi Lisa and Tracy with much love from Steve Hochstadt & Steve Sass.
