Summary: This week on Unorthodox, we’re getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit. Or as we call it around here, Secular Tu B’Av.<br><br>Our Jewish guest is Israeli-American novelist and essayist Ayelet Waldman, whose latest book, <a href="http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/545767/a-really-good-day-by-ayelet-waldman/9780451494092/"><em>A Really Good Day</em></a> chronicles her experience taking microdoses of LSD to treat her mood disorder.

Andrea Silenzi is the host and producer of “<a href="http://www.whyohwhyradio.com/%5D">Why Oh Why</a>,” a podcast about dating and relationships. She tells us how people use emojis to signal their Jewishness on dating apps like Tinder, whether it’s hard to date while hosting a podcast about dating, and the challenges educated women in New York City face when seeking a partner.<br><br>Our Gentile of the Week would call us gentiles, too.
