Mother's Day | Jewish Historical Society

You don’t have to be a Jewish mother for Mother’s Day, but let’s face it, there is nothing like a “Jewish Mother.” Mother’s Day is celebrated this coming Sunday. The JHSNJ extends a Happy Mother’s Day greeting to all our mothers out there. Below are selected photos from our archives showing some of our Jewish mothers.
