The Ultimate Guide for Every Member of the Tribe

Hot Mamalah: The Ultimate Guide for Every Woman of the Tribe is a first: a field manual celebrating Jewish women and their strengths, idiosyncrasies, challenges, and triumphs. This hilarious ABCs of She is a pop culture smorgasbord of humorous essays, witty recipes and 300 savory images spoofing a four-course meal, keeping you laughing from cocktails to dessert. Hot Mamalah is about living, having fun, and having chutzpah. It's about feeding yourself, your family, your friends, and your fantasies. It's about playing by your own rules, speaking your mind, looking fine, and saving a dime. It's about being sexy, dynamic, and audacious. It's about celebrating whoever you are with all the mojo of the boldly beautiful who came before you. Hot Mamalah: You don't have to be Jewish. But it wouldn't hurt.
Award-winning journalist, humorist, and slam poet, Lisa Alcalay Klug has reported for the New York Times, Forward, Jerusalem Post, Associated Press, JTA, Los Angeles Times and Israel Broadcast Authority TV -- among many other outlets.
