A Modern Coming of Age Story – Tahara
Enjoy Tahara, an award winning coming of age drama that is heart-warming, thought-provoking and, also, funny.
The teen years can be both fun and challenging as teens figure out who they are and and how to relate to others.
Your personal experiences may be very different than the movie or they may be similar.
Either way, the universal truths about growing up can touch you personally.
This movie is great for people who were recently teens and for those of us who graduated from high school decades ago.

Synopsis
In this acerbic teen comedy, a funeral becomes a battleground between best friends Carrie Lowstein and Hannah Rosen.
When their former Hebrew school classmate commits suicide, the two girls attend her funeral as well as the “Teen Talk-back” session hosted by their synagogue, designed to be an opportunity for them to understand grief through Judaism.
Hannah, more interested in impressing her crush Tristan, convinces Carrie to practice kissing with her, unlocking feelings that turn Carrie’s world upside down.
Emotions heightened, the scene develops into a biting depiction of unrequited crushes, toxic friendships, and wavering faith.
