Bintel Brief: Ask the Mamele

By Bintel Blog October 2, 2007

As the Forward’s East Village Mamele columnist, Marjorie Ingall has never been shy about sharing the details of her life with readers — whether she’s discussing pregnancy, potty-training, Jewish holidays or cancer in the family. Now, readers of the Forward can share the details of their lives with her. For the next month, the Mamele will be doing double-duty as our guest Bintel Brief advice columnist.

So why not take advantage of the Mamele’s wide-ranging expertise? Whether the topic is men (Ingall wrote “The Field Guild to North American Males”), sex (she co-wrote a sex-ed book for teenagers, “Smart Sex”), health (she was a health editor for Sassy) or, yes, mothering, the Mamele knows her stuff.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
