---Tu BAv --- Tu BAv, the fifteenth day of the month of Av, is a Day of Love in Judaism. Originally a post-biblical day of joy, it served as a matchmaking day for unmarried women in the second Templeperiod (before the fall of Jerusalem in 70 C.E.). Tu BAv was almost unnoticed in the Jewish calendar for many centuries but it has been rejuvenated in recent decades, especially in the modern state of Israel. In its modern incarnation it is gradually becoming a Hebrew-Jewish Day of Love, slightly resembling Valentines Day in English-speaking countries.
