Mom-Me Time: Pick Up a Copy of The Help
If mama's got a few minutes to herself and is looking for something that will take her mind to another world, she needs not look further than this gold and purple hardback book.

Kathryn Stockett's first novel, the book about the relationships between mothers and the women that help them (nannies in particular) will have mommy laughing out loud, tearing up in the eyes, dog-earring pages with special passages and thinking about how she relates to some of the closest people in her life.

Her new album has a song called "Isaac" about Yitzhak Luria, a 16th century Jewish mystic and Kabbalah scholar. Seems the rabbi's are pissed of since you are forbidden to use the name of a rabbi for profit. Some Rabbi's even want Madonna out of the community for this.
