We got sponsors! Thank you to Wolfe Den & Moses and Bros Tech Solutions for sponsoring this week's ep! WRP is hyped for the new kosher coffee house, we're hyped for some excellent wine from 2013 - but we better drink it before the 9 days! We also discuss the trials and tribulations (and elation) to being invited to a new Shabbos table. But we know it's ok to be sorry, not sorry, but not "sorry, not sorry!"

The gals (re)discover new psuedonymns, discuss the power of women using their various platforms to speak out and bringing about miracles, and get down to business on all their business.
