25 Questions for a Jewish Mother by Judy Gold
by Kathleen Moira Ryan
For a Jewish girl who remembers the first book ever read to her as a child was the pop-up version of The Diary of Anne Frank, learning how to be a Jewish mother who wasn't a carbon copy of HER Jewish mother wasn't easy.
In 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother, she incorporates her own adventures in Jewish motherdom and her memories of growing up Jewish in suburban New Jersey— communicating with her mother by putting Ann Landers articles on the fridge — with the voices of the fifty other Jewish mothers she and her co-author, Kate Moira Ryan, interviewed. They asked homemakers, lawyers, Holocaust survivors twenty-five questions.
