JEWISH MAMAS AND ... GOOD SPORTS
Benjamin Leiner (Benny Leonard) may have been the greatest lightweight who ever lived. At the start, Mama was dubious. "A prizefighter you want to be? Is that a life for a respectable man? For a Jew?" Throughout his career, Leonard, refused to fight on a Jewish holiday.

A PERFECT HOLIDAY RECOMMENDATION
You’ll howl over the Jewish mother who ran for President– her slogan?
“Things’ll get bettah with Yetta.” You’ll be riveted by the pioneer Jewish
mother – who shlepped by stagecoach from Arizona to California to make
sure her son was circumcised in eight days. You’ll be amazed to find out why
pirate Jean Lafitte attacked Spanish ships. You’ll laugh reading personal
celebrity anecdotes ... from Judy Gold, Mallory Lewis, daughter of Shari Lewis
(“You’re never too dead to be a Jewish mother”), to Jackie Mason. And your
heart will fill hearing first-hand accounts from legends such as Dr. Ruth Gruber
and Caroline Goodman.
This book resonates for anyone who is, has, or has had a mother.
The “2008 A Little Joy, A Little Oy” calendar is Marnie’s best-selling
Jewish calendar. Now in its seventh year, it’s filled with new material about
all aspects of Yiddishkeit.
Both are perfect holiday gifts.
