After Sarah spends Shabbat at her favorite Upper East Side temple - Bergdorf Goodman, amen - and realizes that after a week of solid Housewives content, she is truly hashtag blessed. She heads to the cloffice for a prayer circle focused on grace, accountability, and zest, thanks to one of her fave Bravoholic pals, Rafi D'Angelo (writer, overpriced vodka.com). They record a brief 2.5 hour mini episode unpacking all things Bravo, Babel, and more. On part 1: how Rafi's experience in a cult informed his perspective on Mary and Salt Lake, the virtues and challenges of thinking of Housewives with grace, different opinions on Bronwyn's performance at the reunion (and, of course, that necklace saga), and the connective thread of community, trauma, and grief. Head over to part 2, because this convo is just getting started - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 637! Part 1!

Happy Black History Month! Please support Rafi's selected charity, Black Mamas Matter Alliance. The Black Mamas Matter Alliance (BMMA) is a Black women-led cross-sectoral alliance that centers Black mamas and birthing people to advocate, drive research, build power, and shift culture for Black maternal health, rights, and justice. https://blackmamasmatter.org/

Highlighted Organizations Supporting Civilians in Israel and Gaza:

Women Wage Peace: Women Wage Peace is the largest grassroots peace movement in Israel whose purpose is to promote a political agreement, involving women in the process. Today the movement has more than 44,000 members. https://www.womenwagepeace.org.il/en/

NewGround: a Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change: NewGround envisions an America where Muslims and Jews and others, both secular and religious, model lasting partnerships and engagement in authentic communication and mutual cooperation. The organization empowers Muslims, Jews and allies to bridge divisions and leverage shared values to strengthen our communities and our fragile democracy. https://mjnewground.org/

Standing Together: Standing Together is a progressive grassroots movement mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel against the occupation and for peace, equality, and social justice. We know that the majority have far more in common than that which sets us apart and only a tiny minority benefits from the status quo. The future that we want — peace and independence for Israelis and Palestinians, full equality for everyone in this land, and true social, economic, and environmental justice — is possible. To achieve this future, we must stand together as a united front: Jewish and Palestinian, secular and religious, Mizrahi and Ashkenazi, rural and urban, and people of all genders and sexual orientations. As the largest Jewish-Arab grassroots movement in Israel, we are committed to creating an alternative to our existing reality and building the political strength to make this transformation possible. https://www.standing-together.org/en

Solutions Not Sides: Solutions Not Sides has been teaching skills of empathy, active listening, communication, critical thinking and conflict resolution through exploration of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 2010. Our programme is based on three key values: non-violence, equality for all, and the rejection of hatred.https://solutionsnotsides.co.uk/

Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed. With your support, we can continue this vital work, ensuring that the over one million children of Gaza receive the urgent care they need and deserve. https://www.pcrf.net/
