Mamaleh Knows Best
Mamaleh Knows Best: What Jewish Mothers Do to Raise Successful, Creative, Empathetic, Independent Children | Marjorie Ingall
12 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
We all know the stereotype of the Jewish mother: Hectoring, guilt-inducing, clingy as a limpet. In Mamaleh Knows Best, Tablet Magazine columnist Marjorie Ingall smashes this tired trope with a hammer. Blending personal anecdotes, humor, historical texts, and scientific research, Ingall shares Jewish secrets for raising self-sufficient, ethical, and accomplished children. She offers abundant examples showing how Jewish mothers have nurtured their children's independence, fostered discipline, urged a healthy distrust of authority, consciously cultivated geekiness and kindness, stressed education, and maintained a sense of humor. These time-tested strategies are the reason Jews have triumphed in a wide variety of settings and fields over the vast span of history. Ingall will make you think, she will make you laugh, and she will make you a better parent. You might not produce a Nobel Prize winner, but you'll definitely get a great human being.

I loved this book. You don't have to be a parent or Jewish to appreciate it. More than anything else this is a tribute to all sorts of behaviors and values that are appropriate for all ages and stages. I can't wait to share this with my book club!

Full disclosure: I've known Josie and Max since they were born, and their mother Marjorie has always been my preferred source for parenting advice. Now that advice is in handy (and totally engaging) book form! I unreservedly recommend this to all mothers and fathers, Jewish or not (I'm not). So much food for thought here about how to raise good, kind, interested people. The world needs more of those.
