"The Business of Being a A Balabosteh The Business of Being a Balabosteh Guide for the Jewish Homemaker,
The Homey Yiddush expression A balabosteh literally means A mistress of the home, from the Hebrew
ba'alathabayit . The significance of this phrase, suggetsing an important executive, should offset the diffidence
wesometimes feel when we fill out a form Occupation Housewife and should raise our status in our own eyes.
The management of a home in the Jewish tradition is a dignified, important, and rewarding job."
Shonie B. Levi & Sylvia R. Kaplan, Copyright 1959
