Ep 101: Love after Brokenness

Send us a message via text message! Link accessible at joyousjustice.buzzsprout.com. ✅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.” Check out our offerings and join one of our programs! https://joyousjustice.com/coursesFind Alan Lew’s book, This is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared: The Days of Awe as a Journey of Transformation here: https://bookshop.org/books/this-is-real-and-you-are-completely-unprepared-the-days-of-awe-as-a-journey-of-transformation/9780316830201Learn more about kintsugi, the Japanese art of "golden joinery": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KintsugiFind April’s TikTok videos here: https://www.tiktok.com/@aprilavivabaskin Follow us on Instagram (@joyous.justice), Twitter, (@JoyousJustice), or Facebook (www.facebook.com/joyousjustice365)Find April and Tracie's full bios and submit topic suggestions for the show at www.JewsTalkRacialJustice.comLearn more about Joyous Justice and join our mailing list: https://joyousjustice.com/Support the work our Jewish Black & Cherokee woman-led vision for collective liberation here: https://joyousjustice.com/support-our-workSupport the showDiscussion and reflection questions:What in this episode is new for you?
