From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yente (18th century) was a possibly-legendary Jewish spiritual Hasidic leader.[1][2][3] She wore the tallit.
According to legend, she was a disciple of Baal Shem Tov, who declared her to be a prophet. She became a figure of pilgrimage, to whom both men and women came and gave gifts in exchange for gifts and blessings.
