The video begins "Every year thousands of Jewish mothers are neglected by sons they've driven away with their constant and neurotic nagging.
Fortunately, there's a lifeline. Adopt a Jewish Mother pairs up nagging moms with volunteers who serve as surrogate sons for them to needle to no end."
Of course it's a gag video, produced by Landline TV, an internet startup that produces funny skits.
Enjoy, Shabbat shalom, and Happy Mother's Day!

I think that whoever conceived this "production" most certainly has ISSUES...BIG TIME. Nothing like feeding into the outworn-outdated stereotype. This is NOT funny--it is,in it's essence a big "Covert" slap in the face to Jewish Women--I have a Great sense of humor, and I find this pretty darn tasteless and insulting to ALL Jewish people--not just women! ESPECIALLY in the continuing anti-semitism that still exists, self-hating people should work those issues with a counselor----not assault Jewish motherhood.................just sayin........M.A.
ReplyDeleteI was hysterical laughing! I don't consider myself as, yes, the "outdated" Jewish Moms depicted in this u-Tube, knowing that any such behavior WOULD cause a terrible problem with any of my children, male or female. However, it still brought buckets of tears of laughter streaming down my cheeks. I love to laugh! Anonymous in Mexico!
