What Jewish moms and Jewish matchmakers mean in pop culture

By The Bagels | May 15, 2023

Are you there, listeners? Itā€™s us, the Bagels ā€” and this week weā€™re sharing initial reactions to the Netflix show “Jewish Matchmaking” and its stars, as well as our feelings about seeing Judy Blume’s beloved classic story “Are You There, God? Itā€™s Me Margaret” on the big screen. And Mothersā€™ Day gave us a chance to reflect on the things we appreciate about and have inherited from our mothers, as well as taking a spin through some of our favorite moms of pop culture.
