recently i watched Yentl (1986) and now i’m obsessed over Yentl and Hadass. i believe Hadass wouldn’t have minded Yentl was a woman and in my mind they ended up together and in love !!! anyway i made this lockscreen to celebrate their love, feel free to use it if you want !❤️

In this photo, the “Four Species” of plants utilized on Sukkot:  an Etrog, Lulav, Hadass, and Aravah.  x

The four species are  the four different plants which form an obligatory part of the rite of Sukkot according to the biblical commandment "And ye shall take you on the first day [of Sukkot] the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days" (Lev. 23:40). "Ye shall dwell in booths for seven days" (Lev. 23:42) is also enjoined.

Sukkot goes until October 11th this year.  To learn more about this important holiday, please click here!

so i’m about to go to sleep but i need to vent my Yentl feels first cuz they are still weighing on me. 

let’s talk about Hadass and how utterly fucked over she was. this is killing me. this poor woman. like, first of all, she wasn’t in love with Avigdor. he wasn’t in love with her either. she was a pretty girl who waited on him. he didn’t converse with her. he didn’t care to learn her opinions about anything. he didn’t even believe she was capable of having opinions. so that’s not love.

but okay, the important thing here is that she didn’t love him. she said she trembled when he was around. she believed that was love. and maybe it stemmed from attraction- but i really think it was nerves and intimidation. and if this movie wasn’t so fucking heteronormative, it would recognize that her reaction was not really a positive one. and then there’s the thing with feeling at peace with Yentl. Yentl didn’t demand sex, and in fact, explained the importance of consent to her. Yentl respected her choice, her opinions, and encouraged her to learn.

their friendship, based in respect, developed into romantic and then even sexual feelings. Hadass got to the point where she actively wanted to sleep with Yentl. now Yentl kept soliloquizing about how it would be impossible to want Hadass in that way, and i’ll buy that. perhaps Yentl really is just THAT straight. but now Hadass, who has been taught that the most important thing in a marriage is that your husband find you desirable, is being rejected repeatedly by her husband. this poor woman. of course she internalizes this. and the movie doesn’t even delve into that so much.

then, the absolute worst thing happens, and something i cannot forgive this movie for. Hadass, who i don’t believe ever had true love for Avigdor declares that she is over him, but then ends up marrying him in the resolution of the film. she marries the guy who doesn’t believe in her right to learn about their religion, who believes she doesn’t have any opinions. the guy whose presence made her tense up so much, she trembled and spilled things. she ends up married to him.
