Most Jewish holidays commemorate ancient historical events or celebrate significant religious themes. Mother’s Day is a relatively new (since 1914) American holiday honoring motherhood. It is also a good occasion for Jews to honor not only their physical mothers but also their spiritual mothers: including the non-Jewish mothers and grandmothers of converts to Judaism.
