25 Questions for a Jewish Mother
By Judy Gold and Kate Moira Ryan
$22.95 h/c"How many times a day do you
call your children/mother? ...What is Jewish mother guilt?...Who is your
favorite woman in the bible?...Were you or any of your relatives affected by
the Holocaust?"
Stand up comic Gold with playwright Ryan traveled
across the country presenting a sample of questions to more than 50 Jewish
women of different ages, backgrounds and occupations. What resulted
was a springboard for a monologue first presented by Gold as a one woman
show, and now expanded into an anecdotal biography. Gold incorporates
her own adventures in Jewish motherhood and her own memories of growing up
with a Jewish mother, with voices of 50 other Jewish mothers for a poignant,
funny and moving read. |
