Amy and Dor delve into a myriad of topics, from patriotism to PTSD to the wait for the messiah, weaving in humorous musings on linguistic improvements, and even pondering the function of coat check. Inspired by listener feedback, Amy reflects on survival, expressing a yearning to move beyond mere existence and embrace the fullness of living. They explore the theme of hope in challenging times, drawing parallels to Pandora's box and creation myths, ultimately embracing impermanence. Amy passionately denounces denial of the atrocious gender-based violence by supposed feminists abroad, in stark contrast with the #meToo era’s “we believe her” mantra, lambasting them or effectively sentencing Jewish and Israeli women to a collective rape sentence. Doubling down on her commitment to take up space and her refusal to be a punching bag, Amy questions why she, like many Jews, should accept a reality in which she is too afraid to wear a Star of David.
