Secrets Of A Jewish Mother: Real Advice, Real Family, Real Love - Plot & Excerpts
Ah, the Jewish mother. Has there been a more maligned stereotype in American culture? From Curb Your Enthusiasm and Portnoy’s Complaint to the routines of countless comedians, the Jewish mother has most often been portrayed as a domineering, interfering, tactless and loud manipulator of family relationships. To this we say, “And ... ?” We maintain that it is precisely those stereotypical traits that form the foundation of healthy, stable and accomplished children, marriages that last over time, and meaningful, loving relationships among siblings. A lot of love and a little matzoh ball soup never hurt anyone. We, Lisa Wexler and Jill Zarin, are the daughters of one very particular Jewish mother, Gloria Kamen. Our family is incredibly close, which translates into communicating with each other every single day, often more than once.
