Dearest Readers of Fig and Vine,

You’ve made it through another February. It was a tough one, each year filled with more

Instagram Valentine launches than the last. Did you find yourself thinking, when will it be my

turn? When will I get to be the gross couple on some sad single soul’s Instagram feed? I’m here

to help! Here is a Sonnet of love and deep desire, sure to lift you out of your lonely lull. Simply

fill in the blanks, and to me you’ll be sharing your thanks.

Under Chabad lights, I stare at your punim aglow.

Cupid points me straight to your _____.

Boy am I glad that we matched on _____!
