"E-mail from a Jewish Mother" is a humorous book by Mona Berman, published in 2006. The book presents a collection of fictional emails written by a stereotypical Jewish mother to her adult children.

In the emails, the mother, often referred to as "Morty's Mom," offers unsolicited advice, guilt trips, and overbearing commentary on various aspects of her children's lives, from their careers and relationships to their personal habits and appearance. Through her witty and often exaggerated emails, Morty's Mom embodies the classic archetype of the Jewish mother, known for her love, concern, and sometimes overwhelming involvement in her children's lives.

The book's humor derives from Morty's Mom's well-meaning but often intrusive attempts to meddle in her children's affairs, as well as her distinctive voice and idiosyncratic writing style. Each email is filled with humor, warmth, and a touch of exaggerated melodrama, making it a delightful and entertaining read.

Overall, "E-mail from a Jewish Mother" offers a humorous and affectionate portrayal of the mother-child relationship, while also exploring themes of family, identity, and the immigrant experience. It's a book that resonates with readers of all backgrounds and generations, capturing the universal quirks and dynamics of family life.
