Jewish Mothers

I'm Jewish, and Conservative, so take that for what it's worth.

Jewish moms adore their children. And by adore, I mean they're infatuated with them. It's really not a bad thing. Also, besides the obvious Jewish male awkwardness with women, I think it causes Jewish men to struggle with women because we tend to expect women in the dating world to be the same as our mother. That has caused problems with me in the past because no women can love us THAT much, and I've learned that the hard way.

I noticed they are rarely wrong, and carry themselves very well. I wondered why.

I would argue because the Jewish community traditionally encourages education and study from a very young age. The mother reinforces this discipline along with traditional etiquette and social skills. Lots of standing and sitting upright during the services as well.

I had never ever in my entire life seen such admiration, in their sons and respect for them.

That is because Jewish mothers encourage the idea of the "Jewish Prince". The son should be entitled to the best the world has to offer, as he will grow up to be: handsome, educated, charming, artistic etc. etc.

There are these boys walking through life (arrogant yes) but full of self belief. Not afraid hardly. Especially when it comes to girls (albeit they seem to predominately keep it within their communities mainly).

This is a mixed bag I think that varies widely between the degree of religious orthodoxy. The reform movement in my experience produced very arrogant boys that lacked the reinforcement of education and discipline. Essentially all of the praise and ego bolstering without any work or humility attached. Their parents are sending them to temple and Sunday school out of habit and tradition. The Bar Mitzvah rite of passage is almost exclusively focused on the after party. Little to no knowledge of Hebrew, or the Torah is required.

My experience with the conservative and orthodox movement is that the children are well behaved, well educated and confident. The drawback is a serious lack of social skills beyond their immediate surroundings. Some of them break out of this norm, typically then becoming less conservative in their faith.

Your comment about confidence especially around girls. Hmm. I don't know about that. I'm sure your experience is different, but mine is that Jewish boys/men can be unbelievably awkward around women, regardless of their background.

Open to feedback.

I would really like to hear some other experience with TRP and Jewish communities.

That's what happens when you have a Homogenous group of people who have a strong religiosity.

That's the problem with American culture today: white guilt and atheism creates moral decay, while Jewish pride and religiosity makes for strong families and excellent men.
