Book cover titled '25 Questions for a Jewish Mother' by Judy Gold and Kate Moira Ryan, featuring an illustration of an elderly Jewish woman with gray curly hair, glasses, a pearl necklace, and earrings, looking thoughtfully, with a younger woman in a purple top and black pants in the background.

Part memoir and part stand-up routine, this hilarious and affecting play breaks down just what makes Jewish mothers so lamentable, laughable, and lovable. Comedian Judy Gold and playwright Kate Moira Ryan seamlessly weave actual interviews with Jewish mothers across the United States together with memories from Gold’s childhood and her own experiences as a Jewish mother in order to create a performance piece that explores it all: from ruggelach to rabbis, matzoh to marriage, Ann Landers to Anne Frank, and guilt to G-D.
