‘Mother Can You Not’ authors talk in Tenafly
Come to the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades on Sunday, October 9, at 5:30 p.m., to meet the mother/daughter team that created the popular Instagram account @Crazy Jewish Mom. Kate Siegel and her mother, Kim Friedman, will talk about Kate’s new book, “Mother Can You Not?”
According to Kate, her mother drove her so crazy that she broadcast their hilarious conversations on Instagram, drawing hundreds of thousands of followers eager to know what outrageous thing Kate’s mom would do or say next.
