THE FESTIVAL OF TU B'AV begins this evening at sundown. Best wishes to all those celebrating. Tu B'Av (which just means the 15th day of the month of Av) is an ancient matchmaking festival. Its first mention is in the Mishnah (Ta’anit 4). It has been revived in recent years as a kind of Jewish Valentine's Day. For past posts on it, see here and links.
