The rabbis witnessed it.

Witnessed what, a marriage between

two women? It's null and void.

According to divorce procedures...

No, according to God,

it was not a marriage.

This is crazy.

I'm arguing Talmud with a woman.

It's not the first time.

Go back to her, Avigdor.

I don't think Hadass will Listen

to her parents any more.

Maybe there's something we can do,

a Law or something...

Avigdor, there's no book with this in it.

Sometimes... right can come from wrong,

virtue from sin.

It's in the Talmud somewhere.

Well go to another town.

Well get married, have children.

Well find a new yeshiva.

For both of us?

You still want to study?

We've argued the Bible back to Genesis,

chapter one, verse one.

How could you still ask me that question?

You don't need to any more.

I'll do the thinking, I'll handle everything.

I want to study with you, not darn socks.

- Impossible.

- Nothing's impossible.

You can study at home.

No one has to know.

And draw the curtains,

close the shutters?

- I want you to be a real woman.

- I am.

Then act Like one!

There's no gift from God

more beautiful and miraculous.

You know everything

without opening books.

What more do you want?

More.

Your beard.

I suppose itll never grow in now.

How could I have been so blind?

Here's a statement for the rabbi

and a note for Hadass.

Would you give it to her for me, please?

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you too, Avigdor.

Goodbye, Anshel.

Yentl.

Yentl.

There are moments

You remember all your Life

There are moments you know

Will be with you all your Life

His face

Will be written on my mind

Will be written in my heart

As Long as I Live

My dear Avigdor.

After many months,

your letter finally reached me.

I hope this one finds you!

Since we said goodbye,

Ive prayed that,

despite the pain Ive caused,

some happiness would come out of it.

And now you tell me it has.

As for me, Im going to a new place

where I hear things are different.

Anyway, we'll see.

Take care of yourself, and Hadass.

I hope she continues with her studies.

She has great promise.

And remember,

I will love you both, always.

Tell me where

Where is it written

what it is Im meant to be?

That I can't dare?

It all began

The day I found

That from my window

I could only see a piece of sky

I stepped outside

And looked around

I never dreamed it was so wide

Or even half as high

The time had come

Papa, can you hear me?

To try my wings

Papa, are you near me?

And even though

it seemed at any moment

I could fall

I felt the most...

Papa, can you see me?

... amazing things

Can you understand me?

The things you can't imagine

If you've never flown at all

Though it's safer to stay on the ground

Sometimes where danger Lies

There the sweetest of pleasures

are found

No matter where I go

There'll be memories

that tug at my sieve

But there will also be

More to question, yet more to believe

Oh, tell me where

Where is the someone

who will turn to look at me?

And want to share

My every sweet imagined possibility?

The more I live

The more I Learn

The more I Learn, the more I realise

The less I know

Each step I take

Papa, I've a voice now

Each page I turn

Papa, I've a choice now

Each mile I travel only means

The more I have to go

What's wrong with wanting more?

If you can fly, then soar

With all there is

Why settle for...

Just a piece of sky?

Papa, I can hear you

Papa, I can see you

Papa, I can feel you

Papa

Watch me

Fly
