In a continuation of the conversation started in the last episode, April and Tracie talk about the rupture Tish B’Av marks and the meaning we can glean from the proximity of Tish B’Av and Tu B’Av, the Jewish holiday of love. In an extended conversation about love and healing, we use the Japanese art of kintsugi as a metaphor, resonate (again) with Lauryn Hill’s wisdom, “How you gon’ win when you ain’t right within?”, and meditate on the Jewishness of Groucho Marx’s quip “I don’t want to be a part of any club that would have me.”
