Customer Reviews

Poignant, great beach read, and funny!

Judy and Kate show a true respect for the women interviewed as well as a personal honesty and a lightheartedness toward themselves. Although I am not a mother (except of a loving fur child), I can relate to so many of the women interviewed and to the authors' feelings and neuroses. Here's hoping Judy's boys love her as much as she loves her own mom.

25 Questions for a Jewish Mother

This is a funny, big hearted, sensitive, intelligent, straightforward look at so much more than you might guess from the title. I think I just ran out of superlatives, so read the book and enjoy!

A laugh on every page

I am not even Jewish and I loved it. Everyone can appreciate this funny and heartwarming books about moms.

An entertaining read for mothers of all faiths

From the minute I received this book in the mail, I could not put it down until I finished reading every hilarious chapter. Being a Jewish mother I did feel some guilt that I put my family on hold till I read the entire book. The anecdotes are poignant, touching and very entertaning all at the same time. I highly recommend this easy read to Jewish mothers and non Jewish mothers alike. In fact what a great Mothers Day gift, or Bat Mitzvah gift this would make!

Hilarious

A very funny and well-written book. At times hilariously funny, endearing, complex, relevant for everyone and always touching. An insightful view of the mother/child relationship. - Pauline Sherman
