How to Be a Jewish Mother is a 1964 Jewish humor book by American humorist Dan Greenburg which was the best-selling non-fiction book in the United States in 1965, with 270,000 copies sold.[1][2][3] The book was first published by Price Stern Sloan under publisher Larry Sloan.[4][5]

The book was adapted into a play starring Molly Picon and Godfrey Cambridge which had a brief run on Broadway at the Hudson Theater from December 1967 through January 1968.[6][7] The actress Gertrude Berg was preparing for the main role in the play but died during pre-production.[8]

The play was profiled in the William Goldman book The Season: A Candid Look at Broadway.

A 1983 French adaptation, Comment devenir une mère juive en 10 leçons, met with long-running success.[9][10] Gertrude Berg also released a best-selling comedy album from the book in 1965.[6]

It was re-issued as a mass-market paperback in 1991 (Шаблон:ISBN, Шаблон:ISBN).

It is deemed as a book that reinforced the stereotype of the Jewish mother in American culture.[11] The anthropologist Jonathan Boyarin qualified the book a "work of covert anti-Semitism".[12]
