Summary: | Israeli filmmaker Anat Zuria examines the Tharat Hamishpaha, or Taharat HaMishpacha (family purity), religious laws that are often seen as imposed by men to shape women's lives and sexuality. The filmaker and her friends discuss their own struggles with observance and adaptation of traditional practices to their changing lives, exploring the meaning of purity to modern women. |
