Hey, JMITs – send us your tips! (In case you don’t know what a jmit is, it’s a Jewish Mother In Training.) You probably want to get that expression in your head if 1) you are a JMIT; 2) your girlfriend is a JMIT; 3) you like to date Jewish girls; or 4) you’re a non-Jewish female who likes to date/marry Jewish boys (read: Shiksa) and you’d like to impress your mother-in-law to be.
