About this song

A son's letter to his mother

Every family has a song like this somewhere inside it: a quiet, loving thank-you to a mother. Mommy is RIGLI's tender original, sung in the warm voice of a Jewish musical.

It is gentle enough for the youngest children and moving enough for the grown-ups singing beside them.

What the song is about

Love, gratitude, and home

The song is a simple thank-you to a mother for her love, her care, and the home she makes. It belongs to the world of JEWISH, RIGLI's growing songbook of new Jewish songs for film, stage, and the classroom.
