On Tuesday, October 3rd, Odum Library screened Purity, a movie by Anat Zuria:
Israeli filmmaker Anat Zuria examines the Tharat Hamishpaha (family purity), the ancient laws and rituals shaping women’s lives and sexuality within Jewish Orthodoxy. Giving new insight into a guarded religious community, Zuria presents her own experiences adhering to Orthodox practices, as well as those of her friends Natalie, Katie and Shira. At the heart of their stories is the “nidda†– a ten to twelve day period restricting women from touching or engaging in sexual intimacy with their husbands, which culminates with a trip to the “mikve†(cleansing baths).
We welcome your comments, questions and thoughts on the film. Let’s Talk About It!
