After traveling across the country and interviewing more than 50 Jewish mothers of all different ages, ethnicities and occupations, Emmy Award-winning comedian JUDY GOLD finally has the answers that every mother wants to know. Written by KATE MOIRA RYAN with JUDY GOLD, 25 QUESTIONS FOR A JEWISH MOTHER is Gold’s positively hilarious journey about becoming a parent, while learning to be a daughter to a nagging Jewish mother of her own. The end result is a moving and humorous portrait of what makes a Jewish mother, a Jewish mother.
