Episode 25: Speculatively Speculating

Jessica & Yonit talk shidduchim and married love, and this means drinking. Loads of drinking.

We talk with Lynne Silver, whose story about an empty-nesting married couple made us smile in the Eight Kisses anthology, and Penina Shtauber, whose collection of Shidduch Stories was so real we needed an extra l'chaim.
