The traditional Jewish mother, whose devotion to her family has been depicted as all-embracing, may soon become an endangered species, a specialist in Jewish identity and family concerns declared.

She made her remarks at a special session of the annual meeting of the AJCommittee’s National Executive Council which met here last weekend.
