Featured Holiday
Tu B'Av ט"ו באב (the fifteenth of the month of Av) is a holiday that was renewed in the modern-day Israel. It falls this year on Saturday, July 24, 2021. It is celebrated as a holiday of love חג האהבה (Hag HaAhava) and as such is a very sought after date for romantic dates and Jewish weddings. The kibbutzim celebrate the grape harvest festival as Hag Hakeramim. It was celebrated in the Temple in Jerusalem when unmarried girls would dress in white and dance in the vineyards at the beginning of the grape harvest in the hope of finding a husband.
