MAKING UP WITH MOM
DECEMBER 9, ZOOS • 7 PM
Beth Israel Congregation (Ann
Arbor)
BRING YOURSELF, YOUR MOTHER, YOUR FRIENDS...AND JOIN US!
Why can't mothers and daughters today see eye to
eye when it comes to important choices about love,
work, children, money, and personal fulfillment? Why
does a mother's approval matter so much, even to
the most confident and self-possessed daughter?
And when daughters choose paths different from
their mothers', why is it so painful for the older
generation?
