Tu B'Av

Tu B'Av — the fifteenth of Av — is a minor holiday. Falling just six days after the fast day of Tisha B'Av, which commemorates the destruction of the Temples in Jerusalem, Tu B'Av is described in rabbinic literature as one of the happiest days for the Jewish people. In antiquity, women would go out in festive clothing to dance in vineyards on this day. Today, the holiday is often viewed as a celebration of love.
