But Tucker remained proudly, openly Jewish and devoted time, energy and money to raising funds to help other Jewish performers and raise money to help Jews displaced by the Holocaust. Over the years, the use of Yiddish declined among American Jews, and Yiddish theater slowly gave way to Broadway. The song’s popularity survived into Tucker’s old age, but Yiddish vaudeville and theater didn’t. Her jewels and treasures she found them in her baby's smiles How few were her pleasures, she never cared for fashion's styles For Jewish immigrants to the United States and Holocaust survivors alike, the song spoke to the importance of family and the resilience and sacrifice of Jewish women: All music protected under federal and Jewish law.Today, “My Yiddishe Momme” is seen by scholars as an expression of the guilt and nostalgia of Jews like Tucker and Yellen who felt the pressures of assimilation and accomplishment that came with the Jewish immigrant experience.
