Love is in the air, Reader! Today is Tu B’Av — often known as Jewish Valentine’s Day. Back in Talmudic times, this was considered one of the two happiest days of the Jewish calendar (believe it or not, the other is Yom Kippur), and it’s seen a sweet resurgence in Jewish communities today. |
With love and gratitude, Mira Fox Staff Writer, The Forward P.S. Want to do a little more reading on the history and traditions of Tu B’Av? Check out our free eBook — full of Jewish learning, celebration ideas, and more. |
