Rebbe Mendel (Nehemiah Persoff) is a widower in an Ashkenazic shtetl in Poland who teaches Talmud to the local boys and, despite being illegal at the time, his klutzy and boyish daughter Yentl (Barbara Streisand). When her father dies and faced with being alone in the world, she takes on the name of her late brother and gets admitted to a Yeshiva to study the Torah and Talmudic law. But events get out of hand when she is called to act as a substitute bridegroom for Hadass (Amy Irving) in place of fellow student Avigdor (Mandy Patinkin).
