A Mother's Day Spoof: Neglected Jewish Mothers Paired With Surrogate Sons


Just in time for Mother's Day (this Sunday) Adopt a Jewish Mother, a charitable organization, has been created to match Jewish mothers whose sons have left the nest with surrogate sons that they can continue mothering.

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!

  1. 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 Nothing like feeding into the outworn-outdated stereotype.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.

  2. I 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 I don't consider myself as, yes, the "outdated" Jewish Moms depicted in this u-Tube, knowing that any such behavior WOULD cause a terrible problem with any of my children, male or female.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!
