Join the search to find the ultimate Jewish Mum of the Year. The Jewish community make up just 0.4% of the British population, yet some of the country’s biggest names in politics, business, banking and entertainment are all members of the Jewish community, including three who are listed in the British Rich List top ten. They have very different personalities, very diverse opinions, but all have one thing in common – a great Jewish mother.

Across the years, the Jewish mother reputation sees them revered as brilliant home-makers, incredible cooks and fiercely protective of their children. Also, sometimes excessive, overprotective, neurotically anxious and ever present yet also an emblem of unstinting love and devotion. This ambitious, competitive series scours every corner of the UK to find the Jewish Mum of the Year.

The competition will seek out the traditional, the overbearing, the cheek-pinching and the charming. The winner is out there somewhere in the land of the Jewish Princess and the over-pampered Bar Mitzvah boys, and no strudel will be left unturned in the quest to find the perfect Jewish mum.

Competitive mums will fight it out through a series of gruelling tasks to win the crown, including challenges to test their cooking skills, matchmaking, home-making abilities, event organising and, of course, how well they know their kids.
