Secrets Of The Jewish Mother Revealed

Boston, MA (I-Newswire) July 18, 2011 - Jewish people, while representing only a tiny fraction of the world’s population, have nonetheless left an indelible imprint on the culture and practices of many societies across the globe, especially in the United States.

Whether in business or sports, public service or entertainment, the impact of the Jews is widespread. Less well known, however, is what it is actually like to grow up and live as a Jew in America. Modern Jewish-American culture is unique, vibrant and thriving and almost entirely the result of the efforts of the Jewish mother.

“Jews Clues: You’re Doing It All Wrong” is a new book by C. J. Kaplan and Mitch Blum that lays bare the many ridiculous, hilarious and surprisingly effective “rules to living” that all Jewish mothers teach their children.

“One day at work C.J. and I were entertaining our non-Jewish friends by describing our childhoods. Even though we grew up in different households in different states, we were taught to live the exact same way. To us, going to sleep-away camp and eating spaghetti with cream cheese and ketchup were completely normal things,” recounts Mitch Blum, co-author, “eventually we realized that we weren’t normal – we were just both raised by Jewish mothers.”

“The more we delved into our pasts, the more we realized how similar we were – and how different everybody else was. We also realized that people were laughing. So we started writing these rules for living on every topic imaginable. Thankfully our mothers spared no topic when telling us what to do.” continues co-author C. J. Kaplan.

The resulting collection, "Jews Clues: You’re Doing It All Wrong (Unsolicited Advice, Unwanted Opinions and Unlikely Anecdotes)", is an uproarious volume that comes off as part homage, part psychological catharsis. In addition to the rules for living (also known as Jews Clues), there are over 100 Chai-kus (Jewish-themed haikus) and 16 funny essays about growing up Jewish.

For anyone who has ever had a Jewish mother, known a Jewish mother, or spiritually channeled a Jewish mother at some point in their life, Jews Clues is the book that will prove once and for all that you’re not the only one who suffered.

“Jews Clues: You’re Doing It All Wrong” is currently available for sale at Amazon.com in both paperback and kindle formats. More information is available at http://jewsclues.com.
