Street of Dreams, Feet of Clay - Sheckley: Not explicitly Jewish, but relying on a variation of the Jewish mother stereotype.
Jachid and Jechidah - Singer: I found this far more interesting for the perspective it took than the story itself--treating life Earth like Sheol/death. Very cool.
I'm Looking for Kadak - Ellison: A long-winded story about finding a tenth for a minyan. Vaguely amusing but dragged.

Gather Blue Roses - Sargent: A fantastic story, tying in empathy and the Holocaust.
The Jewbird - Malamud: A Jewish crow hops into the Cohens' lives, and a good metaphor for a lot of things here.
Paradise Last - Effinger: A long story of how a future society will disperse their Jews. It's good, though takes a tad long to get to its point.

Look, You Think You've Got Troubles - Carr: Reluctant father accepts Martian son-in-law. Very very old school.
Goslin Day - Davidson: A creepy story with a gutpunch ending.
The Dybbuk of Mazel Tov IV - Silverberg: A possession gone awry. OK story.
Trouble with Water - Gold: Very silly story about a curse.

On Venus, Have We Got a Rabbi - Tenn: A pretty fun monologue about Jews in the future and the local rabbi on Venus.
The Golem - Davidson: A bickering elderly couple are accosted by an artificial being, but things are resolved satisfactorily.
Unto the Fourth Generation - Asimov: A surprisingly touching piece from Asimov, about a prayer answered, and family found.

The Jewbird by Bernard Malamud
This tale of a bird being persecuted is at first funny and then disturbing and sad

Gather Blue Roses by Pamela Sargent
In this family, generational trauma is literal pain, and forces the narrator to live an isolated life

Trouble with Water by Horace L. Gold
Didn't love the stereotypical female characters, but the intersection of Irish lore and Jewish humor was interesting.
