I first seriously thought of becoming a therapist whle in college studying biology when a friend of mine said I ought to go on the radio as Rent-a-Yenta since it seemed like everyone came to me for advice and help with emotional issues because I was "such a Jewish mother" so your title struck an immediate cord with me. It seems like so many people in the helping prefessions are Jewish and that is a far better description than the disagreeable ones touted too often by people like Woody Allen. I am proud to be a Jewish mother both actual (I have two wonderful daughters) and professional and I was happy to read an article from another Jewish mother.
