Barbara Streisand on the soundtrack cover for the movie Yentl.
The film is about a young Jewish woman living in Poland during the early 20th century. Her mother is dead, and her father teaches her the Talmud in secret (religious restrictions barred women from such study). After her father dies, she disguises herself as a man in order to study the Talmud at a yeshiva (a religious school), and gets involved in two romantic entanglements because of her disguise. The film features many songs by Streisand, performed as soliloquies. They include "The Way He Makes Me Feel" and "Papa, Can You Hear Me?"
