Yentl en
00:01:30	- Morning.
00:01:59	When I was in Lublin studying last week,
00:02:04	Can you believe the price of cabbage?
00:02:08	For instance, he gives 25 different
00:02:14	Best in the market.
00:02:18	Storybooks for women,
00:02:22	Lovely picture books for women.
00:02:24	...in each sentence.
00:02:28	Fish, fish. Fishy fish.
00:02:35	- Mama.
00:02:40	Fish. Fish.
00:02:42	Come, look at this.
00:02:45	Fine herring, carp, beautiful silver carp.
00:02:48	- Delicious, delicious.
00:02:50	The skin should be tight, firm,
00:02:56	Yentl, how's Papa?
00:02:57	- He's much better, thank you.
00:03:00	And then there's the smell.
00:03:01	Lovely picture books for women,
00:03:05	Storybooks for women,
00:03:08	Yentl? Yentl, what would you like to have?
00:03:13	Yentl, a pike or a carp?
00:03:15	- Fine. Fine.
00:03:17	Novels for women, sacred books for men.
00:03:20	Yentl, what's this I hear?
00:03:25	- I don't know.
00:03:27	- Did you or didn't you?
00:03:30	If she can make jokes about finding
00:03:34	Here you are, darling.
00:03:38	And what's so funny?
00:03:39	- Are you going to buy my fish today?
00:03:43	Storybooks for women,
00:03:45	Yentl, did you hear about Helen Shipman?
00:03:47	- I haven't got time today.
00:03:55	- Buy your gruel.
00:03:59	Lovely picture books for women.
00:04:01	So, in the second part,
00:04:04	to the mysticism of language.
00:04:07	There are things in here
00:04:09	- Can we afford it?
00:04:11	There's one in the rabbi's study. Come on.
00:04:22	What a nice girl. There's your change.
00:04:28	- You're in the wrong place, miss.
00:04:30	Books for women are over here.
00:04:33	- Novels, very romantic.
00:04:36	- Sacred books are for men.
00:04:38	- It's a law, that's why.
00:04:40	Never mind where. It's a law.
00:04:42	Well, if it's a law, it must be written
00:04:45	Miss, do me a favor. Do yourself a favor.
00:04:49	Here, buy a nice picture book.
00:04:52	- Girls like picture books.
00:04:57	Why didn't you say? Fifteen kopecks.
00:05:00	And if you want to know
00:05:03	Thank you.
00:05:07	Good. And who's wise?
00:05:11	- He who knows a lot.
00:05:15	- He who...
00:05:17	- He who learns from all men?
00:05:20	- Who's rich? Oh, I know that one.
00:05:23	He who has a full heart.
00:05:24	He who is content
00:05:25	Yentl, is dinner almost ready?
00:05:27	Yes, he who has a full heart, and also,
00:05:32	But, Reb Mendel,
00:05:36	David, sometimes there are many answers
00:05:40	Now, the last one. Who is strong?
00:05:46	- Strong...
00:05:47	- He who controls his passions.
00:05:51	Controls his passions.
00:05:52	- Try, David.
00:05:55	- He who...
00:06:00	Yentl knows Talmud?
00:06:03	I think that's enough for today.
00:06:05	My father says that a woman
00:06:09	She's not a demon. She just has big ears.
00:06:12	So you don't have to mention this
00:06:14	- Goodbye, Reb Mendel.
00:06:17	- Bye, David.
00:06:21	Now you'll have the whole village
00:06:23	Papa, you shouldn't be smoking.
00:06:25	Do you think the angel of death will be
00:06:28	Open.
00:06:31	In the first place,
00:06:33	Again.
00:06:34	And in the second place,
00:06:36	- Oh, you want some more?
00:06:48	You know something?
00:06:55	- I'm sorry, Papa.
00:06:59	- Really?
00:07:03	Go on, your move.
00:07:06	Papa?
00:07:08	Why is it that every book I buy,
00:07:11	has the same old argument?
00:07:12	- You know why.
00:07:16	- The booksellers?
00:07:19	Talking about life,
00:07:22	And I'm learning
00:07:23	Yentl, for the thousandth time,
00:07:26	- have different obligations.
00:07:29	And don't ask why.
00:07:34	Go on. Get the books.
00:07:38	- Get the books.
00:07:41	- "Thank you, Papa. Thank you, Papa."
00:07:45	- The shutters, darling.
00:07:48	If we don't have to hide my studying
00:07:51	Why? Because I trust God will understand.
00:07:56	Questions, questions,
00:07:59	- "Does a goat have a soul?"
00:08:01	- "What was before the universe?"
00:08:06	- Where were we?
00:08:10	Hillel's argument that knowledge...
00:08:14	Papa?
00:08:17	Papa?
00:08:21	Papa, I'm a little tired tonight.
00:08:25	Do you mind? We'll study tomorrow.
00:08:32	Tomorrow.
00:08:34	Oh, Yentl, Yentl. Oh, Yentl.
00:08:38	You're such a comfort to me.
00:08:41	But you should have a young man
00:08:43	preferably one who doesn't like to eat.
00:08:47	- Good night, darling.
00:08:51	- Are you all right?
00:09:45	God, our merciful father,
00:09:51	I'm wrapped in a robe of light,
00:09:54	clothed in your glory
00:09:57	that spreads its wings over my soul.
00:10:03	May I be worthy.
00:10:07	Amen
00:10:18	There's not a morning I begin
00:10:20	Without a thousand questions
00:10:28	That I don't try to find
00:10:33	In the world that God designed
00:10:37	The reason why
00:10:39	A bird was given wings
00:10:44	If not to fly
00:10:47	And praise the sky
00:10:49	With every song it sings
00:10:55	What's right or wrong
00:10:58	Where I belong
00:11:01	Within the scheme of things
00:11:19	And why have eyes that see
00:11:22	Unless you're meant to know
00:11:28	If not to hunger for the meaning of it all
00:11:35	Why have the wings
00:11:42	And tell me, please, why have a mind
00:11:47	If not to question why?
00:11:53	And tell me where
00:11:57	Where is it written
00:12:02	That I can't dare
00:12:05	To have the chance
00:12:10	Or have my share
00:12:14	Of every sweet imagined possibility?
00:12:20	Just tell me where
00:12:25	Tell me where
00:12:33	If I were only meant to tend the nest
00:12:35	Then why does my imagination sail
00:12:41	Across the mountains and the seas
00:12:43	Beyond the make-believe of any fairy tale?
00:12:48	Why have the thirst
00:12:53	And what a waste to have a taste
00:12:58	Of things that can't be mine
00:13:03	And tell me where
00:13:07	Where is it written
00:13:12	That I can't dare
00:13:15	To find the meanings
00:13:19	Or have my share
00:13:24	Of every sweet imagined possibility?
00:13:30	Papa!
00:13:31	Just tell me where
00:13:35	Where is it written?
00:13:39	Tell me where
00:13:42	Are you all right?
00:13:44	Or if it's written
00:13:54	Anywhere
00:14:01	Did you hear, Albert?
00:14:02	- Yentl is learning Talmud.
00:14:04	- That's impossible.
00:14:06	- David's mother told me. He was there.
00:14:08	Better she should learn
00:14:11	He came all the way from Riga to see you.
00:14:14	So, why, Yentl,
00:14:17	- What for?
00:14:19	I want to dance at your wedding.
00:14:22	I'm happy with you, Papa.
00:14:23	- I don't want to get married now.
00:14:25	I don't want to just bear children
00:14:28	What is it you want?
00:14:30	- Sounds interesting.
00:14:33	Go on, turn the world upside down
00:14:36	- You won't have a moment's peace.
00:14:38	Children are more important
00:14:41	Without children to pass it on to,
00:14:43	the learning, the studying, the Talmud
00:14:50	- I'm sorry.
00:14:53	You're a woman,
00:14:57	- You taught me everything I know.
00:15:00	You know too much, but not enough.
00:15:04	- And it's my fault.
00:15:07	Learning is my whole life.
00:15:19	- What is it?
00:15:24	That tree was this high when your brother
00:15:30	You were only a baby,
00:15:35	And now, look, look how it's grown.
00:15:40	Too late to tell you to play with dolls, huh?
00:15:45	- I love you, Papa.
00:15:52	Hear me, O Lord, master of the universe.
00:15:56	Thou hast given me a daughter
00:15:59	who brings me great pride and pleasure.
00:16:08	And for this kindness,
00:16:16	What's to become of you, Yentl?
00:16:44	Come, Yentl.
00:16:48	You must tear it over your heart.
00:16:52	- Good.
00:16:55	- I will.
00:17:05	May God forgive her.
00:17:18	Listen, my house is hers
00:17:21	So she'll help a little in the store,
00:17:23	look after the children,
00:17:25	Yentl, eat.
00:17:29	It's enough.
00:17:32	Then life goes on.
00:17:36	Sorry.
00:17:41	Razel, Sarah,
00:17:46	Yes.
00:17:48	Get your things together, Yentl.
00:17:51	Believe me, I'll keep you so busy,
00:19:18	Forgive me, Papa.
00:19:42	Wait!
00:19:44	- Wait! Stop!
00:19:45	- Please.
00:19:48	Could you give me
00:19:51	- You got money?
00:19:58	- Get in back.
00:20:02	Say, where do you think you're going?
00:20:05	- Get off of here.
00:20:06	- Go find another wagon. Tomorrow.
00:20:31	God
00:20:39	Our heavenly father
00:20:42	O God
00:20:50	And my father, who's also in heaven
00:20:55	May the light of this flickering candle
00:21:00	Illuminate the night, the way your spirit
00:21:05	Illuminates my soul
00:21:19	Papa, can you hear me?
00:21:26	Papa, can you see me?
00:21:29	Papa, can you find me in the night?
00:21:37	Papa, are you near me?
00:21:41	Papa, can you help me not be frightened?
00:21:48	Looking at the skies
00:21:52	Which ones are yours?
00:21:58	Where are you
00:22:01	And closed its doors?
00:22:05	The night is so much darker
00:22:08	The wind is so much colder
00:22:12	The world I see is so much bigger
00:22:21	Papa, please forgive me
00:22:26	Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
00:22:31	Can you hear me praying
00:22:36	Even though
00:22:42	I remember everything you taught me
00:22:52	Can all the words in all the books
00:22:59	The trees are so much taller
00:23:06	The moon is twice as Ionely
00:23:09	And the stars are half as bright
00:23:17	Papa, how I love you
00:23:22	Papa, how I need you
00:23:26	Papa, how I miss you
00:23:32	Kissing me
00:23:37	Good night
00:24:06	If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
00:24:11	Who will be for me?
00:24:13	Who will be for me?
00:24:16	If I am for myself alone, who am I?
00:24:18	Who am I?
00:24:21	And if not now, when?
00:24:30	Wait!
00:25:29	Innkeeper, more soup.
00:25:38	- Did you hear that?
00:25:44	- Who's throwing that?
00:25:48	- Don't throw that. I told you not to.
00:25:51	Lithuania, Poland,
00:25:54	A school is a school.
00:25:55	I mean, it's only the rabbis
00:26:02	- Why would the Talmud repeat itself, why?
00:26:06	- Even if they contradict each other?
00:26:10	The Talmud recognizes
00:26:13	- You see? He agrees with me.
00:26:16	Two beers.
00:26:17	I can hear you.
00:26:20	Ah!
00:26:21	What?
00:26:23	- Nothing, sorry.
00:26:27	It's just that
00:26:32	- Yes?
00:26:37	You don't know what you're talking about.
00:26:39	No. Sorry.
00:26:43	- Stop yelling at me, Papa.
00:26:50	Checkmate.
00:26:54	- The long diagonal. Who knew?
00:26:59	Pay up.
00:27:00	Chaim, catch.
00:27:02	- You want a bite?
00:27:05	- Don't play.
00:27:09	- Sit down.
00:27:13	Because I said so. Sit.
00:27:17	Five kopecks if you win.
00:27:21	What do I have to do?
00:27:23	Whoever forces
00:27:26	- Oh, no, thanks.
00:27:30	Wasn't it Rabbi Akiva who said,
00:27:35	One kopeck.
00:27:38	"...lies in his ability to stretch even
00:27:41	You're welcome.
00:27:46	- Go.
00:27:47	I think Rabbi Akiva also said...
00:27:50	Two kopecks.
00:27:52	- I thought it was one.
00:27:56	Oh.
00:27:59	Give him back his money.
00:28:02	- Why?
00:28:05	Because you said so.
00:28:08	I'll see you later when your beard
00:28:14	No, it wasn't, since you asked.
00:28:17	Rabbi Akiva, "The narrowest mind."
00:28:22	- Was it Rabbi Eliezer?
00:28:26	Rabbi Israel Salanter.
00:28:28	By the way,
00:28:30	What?
00:28:34	- Are you hungry?
00:28:36	- Help yourself.
00:28:39	- Which yeshiva are you going to?
00:28:45	A quiet yeshiva?
00:28:47	- Bechev's the best.
00:28:50	That's where we study.
00:28:53	Me, I just count the days
00:28:55	And his parents count the days
00:28:58	Our rabbi's a genius. Rabbi Zalman.
00:29:03	- I think so.
00:29:06	My father had 10 questions
00:29:08	Had?
00:29:09	He died eight days ago,
00:29:15	- You're in mourning, too.
00:29:19	Almost a month now.
00:29:25	I'm Shimmele, by the way.
00:29:28	- Oh, hello.
00:29:31	- And you?
00:29:35	What's your name?
00:29:38	- My name?
00:29:42	Um...
00:29:46	Anshel. That's it. That's my name.
00:29:51	Well, good. You know your own name.
00:29:56	- This is Avigdor.
00:29:59	- I mean, hello.
00:30:01	Wagons to the north
00:30:05	- And now means now.
00:30:09	Bye, Anshel, nice meeting you.
00:30:11	Come on, then.
00:30:24	Anshel!
00:30:26	- Hey, are you deaf? Anshel!
00:30:31	There's a spare seat in the wagon
00:30:33	I just decided.
00:30:42	In Plzen there's a fisherman
00:30:46	The cod he catches are so big
00:30:50	Where you from, Anshel?
00:30:53	A little village
00:30:56	Yanev? I have relatives in Yanev,
00:31:00	- We moved.
00:31:02	Years ago.
00:31:04	- You have relatives in Riga?
00:31:08	- No.
00:31:11	Oh.
00:31:20	Were you close?
00:31:21	Well,
00:31:23	- What more could you ask for?
00:31:26	- We were brothers.
00:31:28	- Younger, about your age.
00:31:31	- Pneumonia.
00:31:38	Would you like to discuss
00:31:41	- Oh, no, not Talmud.
00:31:44	- Whatever you're reading.
00:31:48	You know it by heart?
00:31:56	When does day become night?
00:31:58	- Sundown.
00:31:59	Sundown is when you can see
00:32:02	- That's not precise enough.
00:32:03	When's dusk?
00:32:04	- Dusk is when the light's no longer blue.
00:32:06	No, twilight is when
00:32:08	Will you be quiet for five minutes?
00:32:12	There's Bechev! We're home!
00:32:24	How do I get into this yeshiva?
00:32:25	Rabbi Zalman tests you
00:32:27	on what you know
00:32:29	- I'll arrange a meeting tomorrow.
00:32:33	Not at this one.
00:32:36	There may be a room where I stay.
00:32:40	- I'm starving.
00:32:43	- Wait for me.
00:32:46	You're walking too fast.
00:32:47	The synagogue's
00:32:49	The yeshiva's straight ahead.
00:32:54	- Who is it?
00:32:57	- Avigdor?
00:33:01	I'm so glad you're back.
00:33:04	- Are you all right?
00:33:06	Well, as soon as you see Hadass,
00:33:08	- Who wants other girls when I've got you?
00:33:13	I want you to meet
00:33:15	- Anshel, Mrs. Jacobs.
00:33:19	- Anshel?
00:33:22	Oh, I'm sorry, dear, not tonight.
00:33:24	My niece is here from Latvia,
00:33:28	It's all right.
00:33:30	- No, I can't.
00:33:34	- I don't want to impose.
00:33:36	- Anyway, I'm a restless sleeper.
00:33:41	Come on.
00:33:47	Young.
00:33:56	Anshel, will you put out the lamp?
00:33:59	I can't.
00:34:03	So? You're going to learn
00:34:07	All 2,555 pages?
00:34:09	- You're tired, you sleep.
00:34:12	I've been bouncing around in a wagon
00:34:16	Get in bed.
00:34:18	- Would you like to talk a little before...
00:34:21	- Why don't I just put the light...
00:34:40	So...
00:34:43	- Who's Hadass?
00:34:47	- Mrs. Jacobs mentioned somebody...
00:34:50	Sorry. I'm sorry. It doesn't matter.
00:34:54	The girl I'm engaged to.
00:34:57	Oh.
00:35:00	Sorry.
00:35:02	Oh, it's your suitcase.
00:35:11	- Is she pretty, this Hadass?
00:35:17	Mmm.
00:35:23	What color hair does she have?
00:35:24	Look, I have dinner at her house
00:35:30	Thank you.
00:35:35	- Red.
00:35:39	- Now, will you get into bed?
00:36:02	You'll fall off the edge.
00:36:06	I always sleep like this.
00:36:09	- Why?
00:36:13	I think it's written.
00:36:17	What is?
00:36:18	Two bachelors in the same bed
00:36:23	- Really?
00:36:38	Why'd you have to talk about Hadass?
00:36:44	- Why not?
00:36:48	- No.
00:36:50	- Yes!
00:36:53	Why should I be nervous?
00:36:56	You're being tested
00:36:59	Mmm.
00:37:03	Good night.
00:37:06	Good night.
00:37:17	I'll see you in class, okay?
00:37:23	No, Anshel, the whole point of study
00:37:25	is to teach us how to live,
00:37:28	- But why?
00:37:30	No, I mean, excuse me, but my father
00:37:34	- Hillel said, "May I?"
00:37:38	Quote, quote.
00:37:39	Well, Hillel said,
00:37:42	- Exactly.
00:37:43	wisdom is the most important thing.
00:37:44	Only as the means to an end.
00:37:49	Well, in that case,
00:37:52	Ask, ask.
00:37:54	Well, if Hillel said,
00:37:56	"He that increases study
00:37:57	"and he that increases wisdom
00:38:00	- Grab it.
00:38:01	- You're supposed to...
00:38:03	You can do it, so long as...
00:38:04	That's why Rabbi Akiva says
00:38:07	No, I disagree.
00:38:08	- Well?
00:38:13	- He asks a lot of questions, this one.
00:38:17	It's by their questions
00:38:20	not only by their answers.
00:38:23	Your father taught you well, Anshel.
00:38:29	I'm accepted?
00:38:33	I'm a student?
00:38:35	- I'm a student.
00:38:44	There are moments
00:38:51	There are moments
00:39:00	This is one of those moments
00:39:06	I will always remember this chair
00:39:12	The way the light streams in
00:39:18	He's too advanced for them.
00:39:19	The clothes I'm wearing
00:39:23	The words I'm hearing
00:39:25	Too advanced for Yessel and Berish.
00:39:26	The face I'm seeing
00:39:28	So who?
00:39:29	The feeling I'm feeling
00:39:31	- Me?
00:39:34	The smell, the sounds
00:39:35	My chickens are too advanced for you.
00:39:37	Will be written on my mind
00:39:39	- Thank you.
00:39:42	Will be written in my heart
00:39:44	There's only me
00:39:49	It's up to you.
00:39:50	As long as I live
00:39:54	We'll see.
00:39:57	I can travel the past and take what I need
00:40:03	What my father learned
00:40:06	Will be there for my eyes and ears
00:40:09	I can walk through the forests
00:40:12	And listen to the lesson of the leaves
00:40:15	I can enter rooms
00:40:18	Wrapped in a shawl that learning weaves
00:40:24	Everything you've taught me
00:40:30	Look at what it's brought me
00:40:33	There are certain things
00:40:36	No man can take away
00:40:42	No wind can blow away
00:40:44	And now they're about to be mine
00:40:50	No tide can turn away
00:40:56	No time can wear away
00:41:12	I can open doors, take from the shelves
00:41:18	I can ask all the questions
00:41:21	As the mysteries of life unfold
00:41:23	Like a link in a chain
00:41:27	Joins me with the children yet to be
00:41:33	That has always been a part of me
00:41:38	There are certain things
00:41:41	No man can take away
00:41:47	No wind can blow away
00:41:51	Anshel, come down.
00:41:53	No tide can turn away
00:41:57	No time can wear away
00:42:01	Where in the Talmud does it say,
00:42:07	Shimmele.
00:42:10	- Yebamoth?
00:42:11	- No, it's not Yebamoth. It's Baba Metzia.
00:42:15	- It's Baba Kama, page 29A.
00:42:18	Forgive me. It's Baba Kama, but it's 31B?
00:42:21	Anshel is right.
00:42:23	There are moments
00:42:28	There are moments
00:42:37	This is one of those moments
00:43:37	Perfect.
00:43:42	Beautiful.
00:43:47	So, congratulations, Anshel.
00:43:52	- Your father would be proud.
00:43:54	Sure.
00:43:55	- I understand he was a scholar, too?
00:43:59	Now his son after him.
00:44:03	- May he rest in peace.
00:44:04	Avigdor's brother, too. He told you?
00:44:08	- Yes, he did.
00:44:12	Esther!
00:44:14	- At our table, two scholars waiting.
00:44:17	I'd like to have a toast
00:44:24	Such an honor.
00:44:25	- How is the fish, boys?
00:44:29	- Hadass made it herself.
00:44:31	I hope so.
00:44:35	I mean, it's very good. It's good fish.
00:44:38	You have a lovely home, Mrs. Vishkower.
00:44:42	Such beautiful things,
00:44:48	Thank you, Anshel.
00:44:51	Oh. I'm sorry.
00:44:54	It's all right.
00:44:58	You... You come from a big family?
00:45:00	- No.
00:45:03	- No.
00:45:06	- No.
00:45:08	Well, I'm just curious.
00:45:11	If I knew Talmud the way my wife knows
00:45:15	I'd be the sage of all sages.
00:45:18	Don't you pay any attention to him.
00:45:20	No wonder he loves her
00:45:26	No wonder at all
00:45:31	The moment she sees him
00:45:35	Her thought is to please him
00:45:39	Horseradish is good for you.
00:45:40	Before he even knows that he's hungry
00:45:45	Before his glass is even empty
00:45:47	She's filling it up
00:45:49	Before he has the chance to tell her
00:45:53	- Anshel?
00:45:56	Fulfilling his every desire
00:45:59	More bread, please.
00:46:01	No trouble
00:46:02	Yes, more bread.
00:46:03	No bother
00:46:05	- Carrots?
00:46:07	No wonder she's pretty
00:46:13	What else should she be?
00:46:17	She hasn't a worry
00:46:21	And why should she worry?
00:46:26	When she gets up, her biggest decision
00:46:30	To pick a blouse, a skirt
00:46:32	Of what should she do with her hair
00:46:34	And later as she stands
00:46:37	The question's to roast or to not roast
00:46:41	Or better yet, maybe a pot roast
00:46:45	Tomatoes? No
00:46:48	Potatoes.
00:46:51	No wonder he likes it
00:46:56	It's perfect this way
00:46:59	Who wouldn't want someone
00:47:03	Who makes you feel
00:47:05	Whose only aim in life is to serve you
00:47:09	And make you think
00:47:15	No wonder he loves her
00:47:17	It's all right. It happens.
00:47:22	All the time.
00:47:23	What else could he do?
00:47:27	If I were a man
00:47:32	I would, too
00:47:35	- Let's try dessert.
00:47:38	Good?
00:47:42	Let's go this way.
00:47:46	She makes the best almond cakes,
00:47:48	Mmm.
00:47:49	- I thought it was pneumonia.
00:47:53	- Your brother.
00:47:56	- Vishkower said consumption.
00:48:00	They were very impressed
00:48:03	"Beautiful dishes, beautiful home."
00:48:07	I didn't open my mouth
00:48:13	Is she always that nervous?
00:48:15	She's a girl in love. What do you expect?
00:48:20	- She doesn't say very much, does she?
00:48:25	Don't you ever wonder
00:48:29	No. What could she be thinking?
00:48:33	Anyway, I don't need her to think.
00:48:37	You're wrong, Avigdor.
00:48:39	The Hebrew for rib never meant rib.
00:48:42	- Rib, side, what's the difference?
00:48:44	Since Adam was created
00:48:46	- Where's that written?
00:48:48	And if God took one side of Adam
00:48:51	that means they're the same.
00:48:54	What I see is
00:48:56	What I mean is that they share
00:48:59	since they come from the same source.
00:49:00	- Look, can you do that?
00:49:03	Create life, give birth to sons?
00:49:06	When you can do that,
00:49:08	- Give me back my book.
00:49:09	the true story of Adam and Eve,
00:49:11	God didn't make her from Adam's ear
00:49:13	- Come on, please.
00:49:17	Nor from his heart,
00:49:18	Must you talk with your hands?
00:49:19	But from a hidden part of the body,
00:49:21	- Stop it.
00:49:22	- In other words, the rib.
00:49:25	- side! Side!
00:49:28	- Side!
00:49:33	- Admit it! Admit it!
00:49:37	- Admit it!
00:49:40	I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
00:49:49	Come on.
00:49:54	- Where are you going?
00:49:59	Avigdor, wait.
00:50:05	Avigdor!
00:50:14	- Avigdor, where are you?
00:50:20	- Come on in.
00:50:29	That's a bit funny, though.
00:50:35	- Come on in!
00:50:38	There's a passage here that...
00:50:40	- It's the only way to cool off.
00:50:43	I'll... I'll watch the clothes.
00:50:47	- Don't throw me in the water.
00:50:57	- Shimmele, come on in.
00:51:09	- Hey, Avigdor, how's the water?
00:51:12	It feels wonderful.
00:51:16	- You're really missing something.
00:51:20	- The water's perfect.
00:51:24	- Here, your pants.
00:51:26	- Put on your pants.
00:51:30	- It must be a sin.
00:51:33	Anshel! Come on in.
00:51:35	- That's enough studying.
00:51:40	- The water's warm.
00:51:43	- That's not the reason.
00:51:45	- Why didn't you tell me?
00:51:47	You can't swim.
00:51:49	I can't swim. That's right. I can't swim.
00:51:53	Neither can I.
00:51:57	- Come on, Anshel. I'll teach you.
00:51:59	- Don't be afraid.
00:52:00	- I'll hold you.
00:52:02	- Take off your clothes. I'll hold you.
00:52:04	- Take your clothes off.
00:52:05	- You're gonna get all wet. Oh, stop it.
00:52:07	- Are you ashamed? Embarrassed?
00:52:10	- All right, all right.
00:52:12	All right, all right.
00:52:19	I'm not going to force you.
00:52:22	- Next time.
00:52:25	When you're ready.
00:52:35	There's no chill and yet I shiver
00:52:41	There's no flame and yet I burn
00:52:46	I'm not sure what I'm afraid of
00:52:51	And yet I'm trembling
00:52:59	There's no storm,
00:53:03	And I'm breathless, why, I wonder
00:53:07	Weak one moment, then the next I'm fine
00:53:14	I feel as if I'm falling
00:53:18	And flowing through my body
00:53:24	Feelings are awakening
00:53:26	I hardly recognize as mine
00:53:40	What are all these new sensations?
00:53:45	What's the secret they reveal?
00:53:50	I'm not sure I understand
00:53:55	But I like the way I feel
00:54:39	Oh, why is it that
00:54:44	The water shining on his skin
00:54:48	And all the while I'm thinking things
00:54:51	That I can never share with him
00:55:04	I'm a bundle of confusion
00:55:10	Yet it has a strange appeal
00:55:15	Did it all begin with him
00:55:21	And the way he makes me feel?
00:55:39	I like the way
00:55:42	He makes me
00:55:49	Feel
00:56:24	Which is the greater crime,
00:56:28	- By day.
00:56:39	- What's wrong?
00:56:41	Every morning, by the time we reach here,
00:56:45	the six orders of the Mishnah,
00:56:47	and the entire mystery of the universe.
00:56:51	- Nothing.
00:56:54	In a little world of your own half the time.
00:56:58	- Who's moody?
00:57:01	- No.
00:57:02	- Nothing, Avigdor.
00:57:03	- You should tell me if you are.
00:57:05	With me sitting next to you,
00:57:07	- Please.
00:57:08	Come on, I'll take you to the matchmaker.
00:57:10	- It'll put you in a better mood.
00:57:12	Give you something soft
00:57:14	Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:57:17	- Thank you, Sophie.
00:57:23	My future father-in-law
00:57:25	Well, we're eating there tonight.
00:57:27	- He wants to see me now.
00:57:29	Dowry, wedding ceremony,
00:57:32	- Why do you keep grabbing me?
00:57:36	You're always grabbing me.
00:57:40	- No, I'm not.
00:57:43	So? Everything has to have a reason?
00:57:50	The wedding night!
00:58:21	- Hello, Sophie. Is Avigdor here?
00:58:26	He... Excuse me.
00:58:44	What's wrong?
00:58:47	What's the matter?
00:58:49	Anshel, I'm sorry.
00:58:50	You're still welcome here,
00:58:53	Sophie will get you something to eat.
00:58:56	Where's Avigdor?
00:58:59	Excuse me, Reb Alter, but...
00:59:02	Hadass, sweetheart,
00:59:12	Avigdor.
00:59:14	I just came from...
00:59:18	- What happened?
00:59:23	Why?
00:59:26	He says I have the evil eye.
00:59:27	Says a streak of melancholy
00:59:30	What are you saying?
00:59:31	No man can let his daughter
00:59:35	It's forbidden.
00:59:37	Avigdor, I have no idea
00:59:40	- They found out.
00:59:42	- About my brother.
00:59:45	He didn't die of pneumonia
00:59:48	He committed suicide.
00:59:51	Oh, my God.
00:59:54	So no wedding. No sons.
00:59:59	What's all this for?
01:00:03	- Did you talk to Hadass?
01:00:06	She loves you, Avigdor.
01:00:08	Not if her parents say no.
01:00:09	Yes, she can. If she thinks
01:00:11	Come on, Anshel. You think it's so easy.
01:00:14	- What does that have to do...
01:00:15	That's nonsense. Not all...
01:00:17	Please, Anshel, this isn't a time
01:00:19	I've lost the one girl that I've ever loved,
01:00:22	You want to sit here and argue?
01:00:31	You'll fall in love again.
01:00:37	No.
01:00:40	Hadass is a nice girl,
01:00:44	No, I'm not.
01:01:01	Please don't.
01:01:09	I'm sorry.
01:01:11	Is this really happening, Anshel?
01:01:16	Maybe someone else will turn up for you.
01:01:24	Maybe not quite as pretty,
01:01:30	maybe with brown hair.
01:01:35	I wouldn't notice her if she did.
01:03:06	Why do you punish him
01:03:09	- Anshel, please.
01:03:13	You should be proud
01:03:14	Anshel.
01:03:16	They love each other.
01:03:17	No, that's not all. There are other things.
01:03:20	- Don't talk old wives' tales. Talk the law.
01:03:25	What matters is a man's children.
01:03:28	It's his children that your law exists for,
01:03:32	That's her only dowry,
01:03:35	I have one daughter.
01:03:41	Avigdor is the best.
01:03:43	The best scholar, maybe the best friend,
01:03:49	We want someone from a good family,
01:03:52	someone with no secrets to hide.
01:03:57	Someone like...
01:04:06	Someone else.
01:04:15	Anshel.
01:04:19	A little more?
01:04:34	In the middle of the night,
01:04:37	- What did you have for dinner?
01:04:43	- Very little.
01:04:47	- She's still in love. What do you expect?
01:04:53	Not as bad as you do.
01:04:58	You didn't miss anything.
01:05:02	- The whole family's going crazy.
01:05:08	Well, it's just that...
01:05:11	I'm sure Reb Alter... I mean, to save face,
01:05:15	After a broken engagement, they have to.
01:05:19	- Did they mention someone?
01:05:23	But you should have seen the way
01:05:26	You?
01:05:29	Can you imagine?
01:05:42	- What's the matter? What?
01:05:45	Avigdor? What's the matter?
01:05:51	Avigdor, please,
00:00:02	- What are you doing?
00:00:04	- What are you looking for?
00:00:08	- What's the matter? Please?
00:00:14	Avigdor, just...
00:00:16	Anshel, I'm going to make you
00:00:21	- Yes?
00:00:24	- And you like everything written.
00:00:30	It's the perfect solution.
00:00:32	If one dies, it is the other's obligation
00:00:37	- Who's died? No one's died.
00:00:42	- Oh, no.
00:00:44	Never, Avigdor, I couldn't, never...
00:00:46	- Why not?
00:00:49	- She loves you. That's why not.
00:00:50	Anyway, you're not dead.
00:00:52	Hadass isn't a widow,
00:00:53	- In my eyes, you are.
00:00:55	I don't want to marry her!
00:00:57	- I don't love her. I can't...
00:00:59	- Good. What are you talking about?
00:01:01	No, I don't want to listen.
00:01:02	Don't you see? It's fate. It's meant to be.
00:01:03	Nothing's meant to be.
00:01:05	Anshel, the thought of her
00:01:07	- Aren't I another man?
00:01:09	You marrying her would be
00:01:11	- I don't want to discuss it any further.
00:01:13	They may marry her off to someone
00:01:16	- She could never love me.
00:01:18	She likes you.
00:01:19	I could see her. I could visit you both.
00:01:20	- The three of us could be together...
00:01:23	Don't let them take her away from me.
00:01:25	- Wait, think of you then.
00:01:27	- She'll take care of you.
00:01:29	- A wealthy family, a beautiful girl...
00:01:31	Why do you always have to be different?
00:01:33	Please, that's enough!
00:01:36	What's the matter with you?
00:01:41	Anshel, time will go by.
00:01:45	Tempers cool, things change.
00:01:49	Who knows? Perhaps even her father.
00:01:53	Your marriage could be dissolved.
00:01:56	She means that much to you?
00:02:01	Who better will you find?
00:02:04	Who better will she find?
00:02:07	- Do it, for all of us.
00:02:11	Nothing's impossible.
00:02:15	Just think about it.
00:02:18	I've thought.
00:02:36	Another question.
00:02:43	- What?
00:02:48	Of course I do.
00:02:51	Then think again.
00:03:41	More noodles? They're your favorite.
00:03:44	- How do you know?
00:03:50	- I don't remember.
00:03:58	It's a little chilly in here.
00:04:02	I thought
00:04:04	Yes, it is warm, for this time of year.
00:04:08	No wonder she suits him
00:04:12	She never disputes him
00:04:17	Last year, it was also warm.
00:04:18	The conversation's not too exciting
00:04:21	But, oh, what a change it must be
00:04:23	To spend an evening
00:04:26	Must be a relief after me
00:04:27	I'll get dessert.
00:04:28	And though there's nothing much
00:04:32	Who cares when the food's so delicious?
00:04:35	Not to mention these beautiful dishes
00:04:39	A matched set
00:04:42	From France yet
00:04:47	- You look pensive.
00:04:53	About me?
00:04:57	As a matter of fact, I was.
00:05:01	Good thoughts, I hope.
00:05:06	Something smells good. What is it?
00:05:09	It must be the cinnamon
00:05:13	You bake apples, too?
00:05:15	No wonder he loves her
00:05:20	No wonder to me
00:05:24	- A cushion?
00:05:25	With ribbons and laces
00:05:29	In all the right places
00:05:33	- Milk or lemon?
00:05:34	I must admit it's all very pleasant
00:05:38	- Which?
00:05:39	And if he likes the smell of lilacs and roses
00:05:42	Then maybe he likes her perfume
00:05:44	Lemon or milk?
00:05:45	And though her silky hair
00:05:48	Still, they're not that distracting
00:05:50	- Anshel?
00:05:52	- What?
00:05:54	So what accounts
00:05:57	Honey?
00:05:58	Her softness
00:06:01	No honey.
00:06:02	Her sweetness
00:06:04	Sugar?
00:06:06	How could he resist her?
00:06:11	An almond cookie?
00:06:12	And why would he try?
00:06:15	How do you get them all the same size?
00:06:17	No wonder he wants her
00:06:21	You notice everything.
00:06:22	He needs her
00:06:23	The china. Cookies.
00:06:26	No wonder
00:06:31	That's really wonderful.
00:06:35	So would I
00:06:38	Where are your parents, Hadass?
00:06:42	They're in the study
00:06:46	This one's from Zamosc.
00:06:47	Yesterday, there were two
00:06:50	Well, I really have to be going.
00:06:51	I may have to leave Bechev
00:06:55	I'm sure they'll find someone.
00:06:59	- I mean...
00:07:01	No, no, no. I just think about my studies.
00:07:03	- I admire that in a man.
00:07:07	Good night.
00:07:10	Good night.
00:07:26	He's not there, Anshel.
00:07:30	He's gone. He took his things and left.
00:07:38	Hurry.
00:07:40	Wagons to Lublin province leaving now.
00:07:45	Wagons to Lublin province leaving now.
00:07:46	- Avigdor, don't leave, please. I was wrong.
00:07:50	- Fight for her. She's worth fighting for.
00:07:52	- Talk to Vishkower.
00:07:54	Well, let's go see the rabbi.
00:07:56	There are no laws, Anshel, not for this.
00:07:58	Maybe if you took your nose
00:08:00	you'd know more about life,
00:08:05	How could I expect you to understand?
00:08:14	- Last call for Lublin province.
00:08:22	- Oh, my God.
00:08:30	Bye, Anshel. I'm sorry about everything.
00:08:35	Asking what I did was my only way
00:08:39	- No, it's not wrong.
00:08:41	It's understandable. You're in love.
00:08:43	- It was sinful, unnatural.
00:08:45	- I was asking the impossible.
00:08:48	Everything loaded. Everyone aboard.
00:08:51	Don't go!
00:08:54	I'll come with you!
00:09:05	Wait! Avigdor. Nothing's impossible!
00:09:14	Nothing.
00:09:24	- It's impossible.
00:09:27	What do you think, Zelig? I never had
00:09:30	- The shoulders are...
00:09:32	- Look how tight it is around the chest.
00:09:34	- This is the way you cut, Zelig.
00:09:36	- Look, it's all right.
00:09:38	For Alter Vishkower's son-in-law,
00:09:41	- Well, it's my coat, and I like it this way.
00:09:47	Look at him.
00:09:48	Look at me
00:09:51	I must be absolutely crazy
00:09:54	How did I ever let it get this far?
00:09:56	Take off the coat.
00:09:58	I'm getting deeper into trouble
00:10:01	Am I a woman or a man?
00:10:04	- We've got a problem with the pants.
00:10:06	Compared to the pants,
00:10:08	- Why?
00:10:10	Papa was right
00:10:12	I ask too many questions
00:10:16	I can't believe what happens next
00:10:18	- Having trouble at the crotch.
00:10:21	You'll find out when you go "excuse me"
00:10:23	It seems this little game I play
00:10:26	- The pants, please.
00:10:29	- But you'll have to leave the room first.
00:10:33	A tailor is like a doctor.
00:10:35	What do you think, Zelig?
00:10:38	Are you crazy?
00:10:42	Move!
00:10:44	Tomorrow night? Tomorrow night?
00:10:49	Tomorrow night,
00:10:55	Under the canopy I'll stand with her
00:11:00	And place a ring upon her hand
00:11:06	Tomorrow night
00:11:08	I don't know how this came about
00:11:11	Oh, my God. I got to get out
00:11:13	What did you say?
00:11:15	- I've got to get out of my clothes.
00:11:21	Look at this
00:11:22	Come on, move.
00:11:24	The way one lie begets another
00:11:27	Somebody wake me up
00:11:30	Ouch!
00:11:31	Look at this.
00:11:32	Look how easily I fool them
00:11:35	They may have eyes, but they don't see
00:11:38	People are blind
00:11:40	How else would everyone believe me?
00:11:43	It might be interesting to know
00:11:46	Well, are you blind, Zelig?
00:11:48	Look, the right sleeve
00:11:50	- This will never work.
00:11:53	Well, at least the hat fits.
00:11:55	Tomorrow night, tomorrow night
00:12:00	I can't believe what I'll presume to be
00:12:03	Tomorrow night
00:12:06	I'm not the bride, but I'm the groom-to-be
00:12:09	Tomorrow night
00:12:12	And that's a monumental trick
00:12:14	Oh, my God, I'm feeling sick
00:12:16	It's just the usual nerves
00:12:20	I think I'd better rest.
00:12:21	Rest, rest. You'll need all the rest
00:12:24	I could run away
00:12:29	Go anywhere or anyplace
00:12:31	Where no one knows my face
00:12:36	I don't know, just so I can run away
00:12:40	Run away
00:12:44	I'd be free, I'd be rid of all of this
00:12:48	But there's someone I would miss
00:12:54	And being near him is what this
00:12:58	Is all about
00:13:02	So running away is out
00:13:06	Do you think he'll get away with it?
00:13:07	I think we'll get away with it.
00:13:09	Papa, dear
00:13:11	You dreamed of dancing at my wedding
00:13:16	But something tells me that I'm right
00:13:24	Take off the clothes. All right, all right.
00:13:28	Come, Zelig, we have a lot of work to do.
00:13:29	All with God's help, amen.
00:13:32	Isn't this
00:13:34	A strangely logical solution?
00:13:38	Things may not be as they appear
00:13:44	He loves her, she loves him
00:13:46	He likes me, I like her
00:13:47	And I've reason to think she likes me
00:13:50	She keeps him, he keeps her
00:13:53	It's a perfect arrangement for three
00:13:56	Who'd have ever predicted
00:13:58	When I'd find myself grateful
00:14:01	She's an innocent maiden
00:14:04	That's why it's possible I could get by
00:14:06	Look, I've seen the impossible
00:14:09	Maybe, God willing, it'll happen once more
00:14:12	For I feel like a train on a perilous track
00:14:15	No way to stop, no way to go back
00:14:16	A snowball that's gathering speed
00:14:18	Going faster and faster and faster until
00:14:22	Tomorrow night, tomorrow night
00:14:28	Even if someone would pray for me
00:14:31	Tomorrow night
00:14:34	There's not a prayer
00:14:37	Tomorrow night
00:14:40	Tomorrow night, tomorrow night
00:14:44	Is now tonight
00:14:56	Blessings.
00:14:57	Success.
00:15:04	Musicians, please.
00:15:05	The mitzvah dance.
00:15:15	- Excuse me.
00:15:18	Look, look there.
00:15:24	You're not leaving, are you?
00:15:26	I have a wedding present for you,
00:15:29	- Thank you.
00:15:31	He wrote it over 500 years ago.
00:15:34	"Converse with her
00:15:37	"Speak words which arouse her to love,
00:15:43	"and words of reverence for God."
00:15:48	Never force her.
00:15:51	Her mood must be as yours.
00:15:54	Win her with graciousness
00:15:58	Be patient until her passion is aroused.
00:16:04	Begin with love.
00:16:07	And when her mood is ready,
00:16:09	let her desire be satisfied first.
00:16:13	Her delight is what matters.
00:16:20	Come along now.
00:16:24	- Avigdor, I don't know if I can... Avigdor.
00:16:29	- Anshel.
00:16:34	Anshel, I have to talk to you.
00:16:36	Remember your obligation.
00:16:37	- Yes, Mother.
00:16:38	As I said, you mustn't be nervous.
00:16:42	See, Eve was made from Adam's rib
00:16:45	his demands, and so must you.
00:16:48	- See, there's nothing to be nervous about.
00:16:51	We have protected her.
00:16:54	But you're the scholar.
00:16:55	So I don't have to tell you
00:16:58	Thank you, sir. I know the law.
00:16:59	May your wedding night be as joyful
00:17:04	And, please God,
00:17:34	Esther, it's a wonderful wedding.
00:18:19	Are you too warm?
00:18:21	No.
00:18:24	- Shall I open a window?
00:18:26	Unless you want to. You're the man.
00:18:31	That's true.
00:18:36	- You don't have to be frightened, Hadass.
00:18:38	You're not?
00:18:40	- Yes, I am.
00:18:43	- What?
00:18:47	But you don't have to do anything
00:18:51	But I do. You're my husband, Anshel.
00:18:54	- No, that's not so.
00:18:57	No. According to the Talmud,
00:18:58	a woman has the right to refuse
00:19:01	- No. My mother said...
00:19:04	- So if you want to refuse...
00:19:06	Then, naturally, I respect your wishes.
00:19:09	You're a very considerate man, Anshel.
00:19:13	Only because I know
00:19:16	Who? I'm not at all, of anyone.
00:19:20	- You mustn't be angry with him.
00:19:23	Well, any woman would be, wouldn't she?
00:19:30	You're very understanding.
00:19:32	It's only natural that you wish
00:19:37	- But you're my husband...
00:19:41	because you're still thinking of Avigdor,
00:19:44	I can't let you commit
00:19:47	- Sin?
00:19:48	that a woman cannot give herself
00:19:50	while she's still thinking of another.
00:19:51	- You didn't know that?
00:19:53	Because it's a terrible sin, believe me.
00:19:54	So, tonight, we'll do what you want,
00:19:57	- I don't know what I want.
00:20:01	you must let me know.
00:20:04	You're...
00:20:08	but I'm not going to force myself on you.
00:20:11	I'll... I'll just have to be patient.
00:20:17	- Good.
00:20:26	A drop more wine?
00:20:30	- It's our secret. No one needs to know.
00:20:36	And our friendship.
00:20:38	- A husband and wife can be friends?
00:20:42	- Only one problem.
00:20:44	Help me.
00:20:46	In the morning, when they come in,
00:20:48	- But we haven't.
00:20:58	Wait, no, no, just one bed.
00:21:07	You silly goose.
00:21:28	You tell me.
00:21:33	Truce, truce.
00:21:52	Anshel.
00:21:57	I think I'm going to like
00:22:06	- Good night, Hadass.
00:22:35	Hello, Anshel.
00:22:38	Morning, Avigdor.
00:22:42	How are you this morning?
00:22:45	Fine.
00:22:49	- Good.
00:22:54	You?
00:22:57	- How's Hadass?
00:23:00	How's Peshe?
00:23:04	The wedding,
00:23:06	- everyone seemed to have a good time.
00:23:08	- Everyone seemed to have a good time.
00:23:11	Everyone stayed late.
00:23:13	Almost everyone, that is.
00:23:16	- Hadass enjoyed herself?
00:23:19	We're talking about Hadass.
00:23:21	You are. Me, I seem to be talking about
00:23:23	- Peshe.
00:23:24	- Avigdor!
00:23:32	Don't I know you?
00:23:38	Was it in Zamosc?
00:23:40	I've never been to Zamosc.
00:23:41	Well,
00:23:44	- Oh...
00:23:47	Perhaps I could interest you
00:23:54	No, thanks. I'm not much of a reader.
00:23:58	Anyway, we buy our books in Lublin.
00:24:01	Listen, big city bookstore,
00:24:03	- you pay big city prices.
00:24:05	- Where's that written?
00:24:07	Some little village, was it?
00:24:09	Yanev. Somewhere like that.
00:24:13	Yeah, I...
00:24:21	Hadass and I talked,
00:24:25	And then she went to sleep.
00:24:27	Anshel, I'm a grown man.
00:24:29	Why is it people who want the truth
00:24:31	- What did you do to her?
00:24:33	- Come on, tell me. Please.
00:24:35	I don't know. You kissed her,
00:24:37	- All right. All right. That, that.
00:24:39	I did everything just like you said.
00:24:43	Did she make sounds? Did she scream?
00:24:45	She did a little screaming,
00:24:47	Went to sleep?
00:24:49	- Anshel.
00:24:51	Talked? In her sleep? What did she say?
00:24:54	- Things like, "Avigdor, I love you."
00:25:00	Go on.
00:25:04	"I adore you, Avigdor," she said.
00:25:11	That's the truth?
00:25:14	Yes, my friend.
00:25:17	That's the truth.
00:25:32	The whole pleasure of having a son-in-law
00:25:35	He has a headache,
00:25:37	You go to the bath house, you sit,
00:25:40	- That's a son-in-law.
00:25:42	This week, he can't come,
00:25:44	- Last week, he's studying.
00:25:47	You know what is giving him
00:25:49	- Studying.
00:25:51	When I was young, it was
00:25:54	What?
00:25:56	Raspberry tea.
00:25:58	It's very good for headaches.
00:26:01	Yes, Mother.
00:26:05	So is something else.
00:26:09	That also cures headaches.
00:26:13	What does?
00:26:16	It's probably why God says
00:26:21	Mother.
00:26:23	It's nature between man and wife.
00:26:28	Mother, what are you saying?
00:26:31	What am I saying?
00:26:33	That you give him a glass of raspberry tea.
00:26:35	Everything I say, you find hidden meaning.
00:26:40	Raspberry tea
00:26:44	- Thank you.
00:26:48	No.
00:26:54	It's almost sundown, the Sabbath.
00:26:58	Yes.
00:27:01	My mother says it's a special blessing
00:27:05	- Going to synagogue?
00:27:11	- Unless you're tired.
00:27:16	Drink your tea. It's getting cold.
00:27:26	When Avigdor used to call,
00:27:29	- I don't know if you ever noticed.
00:27:32	It's because he made me tremble inside.
00:27:38	That's love, Hadass.
00:27:41	But you don't make me tremble.
00:27:46	You make me peaceful.
00:27:51	Well, yes. That's the friendship
00:27:54	- You see, in the Talmud...
00:27:59	Teach you?
00:28:03	Please?
00:28:06	- Talmud?
00:28:09	- Talmud.
00:28:12	Talmud. Talmud.
00:28:14	It's the least a husband can do
00:28:17	I could never learn Talmud.
00:28:19	That's nonsense. If I can do it,
00:28:22	But isn't it a sin?
00:28:24	Sin, sin, it's not a sin.
00:28:25	Then why are you closing the curtains
00:28:28	Why? Because I trust God will understand.
00:28:31	Come, sit.
00:28:33	What's funny?
00:28:34	You. I've never seen you so excited.
00:28:38	Now, pay attention, Hadass.
00:28:41	- the five books of Moses, which God...
00:28:44	- Where are you going?
00:28:47	Let your mother do it, please.
00:28:50	The Talmud, on the other hand, is a series
00:28:53	- What are you doing?
00:28:57	- Well, don't. We're studying.
00:28:58	Now, where was I?
00:29:00	A series of commentaries
00:29:03	Yes.
00:29:05	The first of these commentaries
00:29:09	I'm glad your headache's better.
00:29:13	What is so incredible, Hadass,
00:29:15	is that it's a masterpiece of literature,
00:29:18	It deals with astronomy,
00:29:20	everything from making love
00:29:24	Making love?
00:29:26	To planting Egyptian beans.
00:29:29	I thought you said something
00:29:32	Then there's the Midrash,
00:29:36	For example, two men are disputing
00:29:37	the ownership of a mule
00:29:40	let's say a flock of chickens...
00:29:41	Anshel, while your books
00:29:43	I've had to pluck them.
00:29:46	It's Friday. I've been up since dawn.
00:29:49	I'm too tired to be
00:29:54	I'm sorry.
00:29:57	I'm the one who's sorry, Hadass.
00:30:01	I'm too tired
00:30:05	even if maybe you were
00:30:11	Maybe.
00:30:29	Next Tuesday, 8:00.
00:30:33	What about her parents?
00:30:34	What about her parents? I'll just tell them,
00:30:38	Anyway, they're away next Tuesday.
00:30:40	Are you two agreeing or disagreeing?
00:30:43	- Agreeing.
00:30:44	- Disagreeing.
00:30:48	- He's one second late.
00:30:52	Oh.
00:30:54	Yes.
00:30:58	- I read a beautiful story today.
00:31:02	David and Jonathan.
00:31:03	Yes, it's a nice story.
00:31:06	Their love was even stronger
00:31:10	I thought you were reading
00:31:13	I finished it yesterday.
00:31:16	That's wonderful, Hadass.
00:31:20	Who do you love more? Me or Avigdor?
00:31:30	- Hello, Sophie.
00:31:39	Thank you, Sophie.
00:31:42	Hello.
00:31:51	Well, this is the one
00:31:53	the one I brought from home.
00:31:55	The first part's about the ancient mystics.
00:32:05	Welcome, Avigdor.
00:32:10	- Tell me more.
00:32:12	It was a very interesting
00:32:15	And then what happened?
00:32:18	Well, Avigdor was there, too.
00:32:23	And was Rabbi Zalman angry
00:32:26	He laughed. Didn't he, Avigdor?
00:32:30	- Yes.
00:32:33	We both did.
00:32:35	I can just see you.
00:32:46	- I'll do that.
00:32:49	- But you have a guest.
00:33:03	Marriage agrees with you.
00:33:07	- You're more beautiful than ever.
00:33:11	Avigdor, I'm concerned about Anshel.
00:33:14	- What are you talking about?
00:33:23	Why don't we have tea in the parlor?
00:33:29	Milk or lemon?
00:33:33	Fine.
00:33:42	Sorry.
00:33:51	We left off with Maimonides' code
00:34:00	Let's read chapters seven and eight,
00:34:02	- Is that all right?
00:34:10	Don't stop, Hadass. It's pretty.
00:34:26	Look at how he looks at her
00:34:29	Will someone ever look at me that way?
00:34:38	Full of all the feelings
00:34:40	And the soft unspoken words
00:34:50	I thought that I knew every single look
00:34:53	And sweet expression on his face
00:34:57	Yet this is one that I don't recognize
00:35:02	Although I've sat
00:35:08	But now I see how love
00:35:14	A pair of eyes
00:35:18	See the way they gaze at her
00:35:21	Like slaves they follow
00:35:30	Do my eyes forget themselves
00:35:33	And do I ever look at him
00:35:35	And smile in such a way
00:35:38	That what I'm feeling shows?
00:35:42	Sometimes I have the feeling
00:35:45	Everybody knows
00:35:48	And even though it's crazy
00:35:51	Still I can't help wondering
00:35:59	When by some
00:36:04	Miracle of miracles
00:36:07	He'll turn around and look at me
00:36:15	That way
00:36:19	It's no good. I'm sorry. Excuse me.
00:36:24	Avigdor. Avigdor, wait!
00:36:27	Good night.
00:36:39	Anshel.
00:36:40	Hmm?
00:36:43	How many children do you want?
00:36:48	The actual number?
00:36:54	- He didn't make me tremble tonight.
00:36:59	You did, though.
00:37:02	- What's even nicer, I made you tremble.
00:37:08	When he was leaving,
00:37:11	You were trembling.
00:37:13	Well, what are you doing, Hadass?
00:37:17	- I want to look at you.
00:37:20	When you told me
00:37:23	you didn't tell me
00:37:27	Who told you that?
00:37:29	The Talmud, the Yebamoth Tractate,
00:37:33	Sixty-three A and B.
00:37:34	- It's written, Anshel.
00:37:38	You told me to tell you
00:37:43	I do.
00:37:44	And it isn't Avigdor,
00:37:47	Hadass, I...
00:37:50	It's been terrible for you, I know,
00:37:56	But it's all right now.
00:37:59	You don't have to wait any longer.
00:38:03	Oh, God. Oh, God. I'm so sorry.
00:38:07	- I'm so sorry, Hadass.
00:38:10	For teaching me? For understanding me?
00:38:14	For making me fall in love with you?
00:38:16	No. I can't. I can't.
00:38:21	I feel so certain that you love me.
00:38:25	Everything you do shows me you love me.
00:38:29	What is it, Anshel?
00:38:31	Look at how she looks at me
00:38:35	I can never look at her that way
00:38:40	Is it me? Am I so...
00:38:44	- Do you find me...
00:38:49	Then what?
00:38:51	Full of all the feelings
00:38:53	And the soft unspoken words
00:38:58	There are so many things
00:39:01	things I'd like to tell you.
00:39:05	I feel so...
00:39:07	- Maybe you'll feel better tomorrow?
00:39:11	In all the words in all the books
00:39:16	What she's taught me
00:39:21	And I'm supposed to be
00:39:27	One thing is certain
00:39:28	I can never be what she
00:39:33	Expects of me
00:39:47	I've wanted the shadows
00:39:52	I don't anymore
00:39:57	No matter what happens
00:40:01	I won't anymore
00:40:06	I've run from the sunlight
00:40:10	Afraid it saw too much
00:40:13	The moon had the one light
00:40:17	I bathed in
00:40:20	I walked in
00:40:22	I held in my feelings
00:40:29	And closed every door
00:40:33	No matter what happens
00:40:36	I can't anymore
00:40:41	There's someone who must hear
00:40:45	The words I've never spoken
00:40:49	Tonight if he were here
00:40:53	My silence would be broken
00:40:57	I need him to touch me
00:41:01	To know the love that's in my heart
00:41:04	The same heart that tells me
00:41:08	To see myself
00:41:11	To free myself
00:41:13	To be myself at last
00:41:19	For too many mornings
00:41:24	The curtains were drawn
00:41:27	It's time they were opened
00:41:31	To welcome the dawn
00:41:35	A voice deep inside's getting stronger
00:41:39	I can't keep it quiet any longer
00:41:44	No matter what happens
00:41:49	It can't be the same anymore
00:42:07	I promise
00:42:10	It won't be
00:42:13	The same
00:42:18	Anymore
00:42:50	I'll miss you.
00:42:51	You'll have lots to do while I'm gone.
00:42:54	- I know, but...
00:42:57	Sorry?
00:42:59	That I wasn't here when they got home.
00:43:01	You'll see them on Friday.
00:43:06	Show them the books you bought.
00:43:12	I baked almond cakes.
00:43:15	You and Avigdor wouldn't last three days
00:43:19	Thank you.
00:43:24	Hurry home.
00:43:26	It won't be the same here without you.
00:43:29	Hadass.
00:43:32	Do you remember
00:43:35	in the Talmud about patience?
00:43:37	Tell me, what did we read?
00:43:40	- "Patience yields many good things."
00:43:43	And if you have patience,
00:43:46	Children, beautiful children,
00:43:50	Trust me.
00:43:53	I do trust you.
00:44:00	Well, I have to be going.
00:44:10	I'll study while you're away.
00:44:17	Oh, I am proud of you.
00:44:20	You should be proud of yourself.
00:44:24	I love you, Anshel.
00:44:29	I love you, too.
00:44:41	She's mother
00:44:44	She's sister
00:44:46	She's lover
00:44:50	She's the wonder of wonders
00:44:56	No man can deny
00:45:01	So why would he change her?
00:45:06	She's loving, she's tender
00:45:10	She's woman
00:45:17	So am I
00:45:31	This trip was
00:45:33	- I have a secret to tell you.
00:45:36	- Not now.
00:45:40	So my crazy plan
00:45:44	What?
00:45:46	She loves you now.
00:45:47	- She only thinks she does.
00:45:52	Things aren't always what they seem.
00:45:55	What are you talking about?
00:45:57	You'll see.
00:46:01	Now, what's this secret of yours?
00:46:06	I'll tell you when we get to Lublin.
00:46:12	- Look, there's our friend again.
00:46:32	- So, when are you going to tell me?
00:46:35	- Why not?
00:47:44	Slivovitz?
00:47:47	No, thanks.
00:47:50	So, let's hear this secret of yours.
00:47:55	- Maybe I will have a glass.
00:48:15	So, tell me.
00:48:22	Well...
00:48:26	We're friends. What can't you tell me?
00:48:32	All right.
00:48:37	Avigdor, what would you do
00:48:40	if all you ever wanted in life was to study,
00:48:44	- It isn't forbidden. It isn't.
00:48:47	What if there was some crazy law
00:48:51	or all men with brown eyes were forbidden
00:48:54	- I'd study anyway.
00:48:56	If I had to. Why?
00:48:58	That would be difficult, wouldn't it?
00:49:01	Yes. What's your secret?
00:49:04	Without Talmud, without studying,
00:49:07	- That's right. But you don't...
00:49:10	- So?
00:49:15	No, you didn't.
00:49:21	Avigdor, my name isn't Anshel.
00:49:27	That's your secret?
00:49:31	Dear Avigdor.
00:49:35	- I don't know how I'm gonna tell you this.
00:49:39	I'm not a yeshiva boy.
00:49:40	That's it. You're the chief rabbi
00:49:43	- I'm not any kind of boy.
00:49:49	My name isn't Anshel.
00:49:52	- It's Yentl.
00:49:57	And...
00:50:03	I'm a woman.
00:50:06	A woman?
00:50:09	A woman.
00:50:12	Now, my secret.
00:50:15	- I'm the czar of Russia.
00:50:18	- Stop this, Anshel.
00:50:24	I'm not a man. I'm a woman.
00:50:28	Stop it.
00:50:30	- I'm a woman, Avigdor.
00:50:33	What kind of a game is this?
00:50:36	It's not a game. Not anymore.
00:50:44	What are you doing?
00:50:52	What are you doing?
00:51:05	Oh, my God.
00:51:08	I've only shown you,
00:51:11	- It can't be.
00:51:17	What have you done?
00:51:20	- Avigdor, listen to me.
00:51:22	- Please, just let me explain.
00:51:25	Avigdor, don't be afraid of me.
00:51:27	- Look at you. You're a monster.
00:51:30	- Sins, sins, sins upon sins.
00:51:32	and they wouldn't let me.
00:51:33	"A woman shall not wear
00:51:35	Avigdor, please, I had no choice!
00:51:37	- You're a devil.
00:51:38	- Enough! Please!
00:51:41	Every commandment broken,
00:51:44	Stay away from me! Please!
00:51:47	- What are you, a demon?
00:51:49	- You spit on the Torah!
00:51:50	- You spit on the Torah!
00:51:52	You spit on it! You spit on everything
00:51:56	In God's face, in my face, in Hadass' face!
00:52:00	- She knows nothing.
00:52:02	No, she's never...
00:52:04	An innocent married to a devil!
00:52:07	- How could you do such a thing?
00:52:09	- Mine? This? My doing?
00:52:11	Why? Come on, you're a man.
00:52:14	You're a man. Answer me like a man.
00:52:15	- I want to know why. Why? Why? Why?
00:52:17	Why didn't you tell me
00:52:19	- I was afraid!
00:52:20	Of this, of exactly this!
00:52:22	So you lied to me! You lied to Hadass!
00:52:25	God, the things I told you,
00:52:27	I'm glad you told me.
00:52:29	- What kind of a creature are you?
00:52:31	That's not good enough.
00:52:32	Tell me the answer. Why? Why?
00:52:35	- Why? Why?
00:52:38	- I wanted to be near you!
00:52:40	- I didn't want to lose you!
00:52:42	I loved you.
00:52:49	I loved you.
00:52:53	Oh, God.
00:52:56	Oh, God. Oh, my God.
00:52:58	I loved you.
00:53:12	I thought you didn't understand
00:53:18	No wonder.
00:53:21	My God, no wonder.
00:53:25	All the times I looked at you,
00:53:27	and I couldn't understand why.
00:53:29	I thought
00:53:32	There was nothing wrong with you.
00:53:48	Your skin.
00:53:51	It's so...
00:53:55	Your hair.
00:53:57	It must have been beautiful.
00:54:00	It'll grow.
00:54:03	Your hands.
00:54:06	I always tried to hide them.
00:54:08	Oh, no.
00:54:15	I did... I...
00:54:20	I didn't want to touch you.
00:54:26	I was afraid to.
00:54:35	Your mouth.
00:54:44	Yentl.
00:54:48	I loved you, too.
00:55:17	Hadass.
00:55:30	It's not difficult.
00:55:36	I'll write a statement to the rabbis
00:55:38	that the marriage
00:55:42	And you can take it back to Bechev
00:55:47	The rabbis witnessed it.
00:55:49	Witnessed what, a marriage
00:55:54	Nevertheless,
00:55:56	No, you're wrong, Avigdor.
00:56:01	This is crazy.
00:56:10	It's not the first time.
00:56:24	Go back to her, Avigdor.
00:56:30	I don't think Hadass will listen
00:56:34	Maybe there's something else we can do.
00:56:36	There must be a law or something,
00:56:39	Avigdor, there's no book with this in it.
00:56:43	Sometimes right can come from wrong,
00:56:48	virtue from sin.
00:56:50	It's in the Talmud somewhere.
00:56:54	We'll go to another town
00:56:56	We'll get married. We'll make a home.
00:56:59	- We'll... I'll find a new yeshiva.
00:57:04	You still want to study?
00:57:07	Avigdor, we've argued the Bible
00:57:09	straight back to Genesis,
00:57:11	- How could you still ask me that question?
00:57:17	I'll do the thinking.
00:57:19	No, I want to study with you,
00:57:22	- You're asking the impossible.
00:57:25	All right. All right. You can study at night
00:57:28	What are we gonna do, draw the curtains,
00:57:30	Don't you understand?
00:57:33	- I am a real woman.
00:57:36	There's no gift from God that is
00:57:40	You know everything
00:57:43	What more do you want?
00:57:49	More.
00:58:28	Your beard.
00:58:31	I suppose it'll never grow in now.
00:58:38	How could I have been so blind?
00:58:44	Here's a statement for the rabbi
00:58:49	Would you give it to her for me, please?
00:58:52	I will miss you.
00:58:55	I'll miss you, too, Avigdor.
00:59:22	Goodbye, Anshel.
00:59:25	Yentl.
00:59:31	Yentl.
00:59:44	There are moments
00:59:51	There are moments you know
01:00:00	His face will be written on my mind
01:00:09	Will be written in my heart
01:00:17	As long as I live
01:00:25	My dear A vigdor.
01:00:28	After many months,
01:00:31	I hope this one finds you.
01:00:34	Since we said goodbye, I've prayed that
01:00:39	some happiness would come out of it.
01:00:43	And now you tell me it has.
01:00:45	As for me, I'm going to a new place
01:00:52	Anyway, we'll see.
01:00:54	Take care of yourself and Hadass.
01:00:57	I hope she continues with her studies.
01:01:00	She has great promise.
01:01:02	And remember,
01:01:08	Tell me where
01:01:16	Where is it written
01:01:31	That I can't dare?
01:01:41	It all began
01:01:46	The day I found
01:01:50	That from my window
01:01:58	I stepped outside and looked around
01:02:06	I never dreamed it was so wide
01:02:10	Or even half as high
01:02:14	The time had come
01:02:18	To try my wings
01:02:22	And even though it seemed
01:02:29	I felt the most
01:02:34	Amazing things
01:02:38	The things you can't imagine
01:02:44	Though it's safer to stay on the ground
01:02:49	Sometimes where danger lies
01:02:56	No matter where I go
01:02:59	There'll be memories that tug at my sleeve
01:03:04	But there will also be more to question
01:03:12	Oh, tell me where
01:03:17	Where is the someone
01:03:23	And want to share
01:03:27	My every sweet imagined possibility?
01:03:35	The more I live, the more I learn
01:03:44	The more I learn, the more I realize
01:03:51	Each step I take
01:03:55	Each page I turn
01:03:59	Each mile I travel only means
01:04:06	What's wrong with wanting more?
01:04:10	If you can fly, then soar
01:04:14	With all there is
01:04:17	Why settle for
01:04:24	Just a piece of sky?
01:04:33	Papa, I can hear you
01:04:37	Papa, I can see you
01:04:40	Papa, I can feel you
01:04:44	Papa, watch me fly
