Tu B’Av is known as the Jewish Day of Love! It takes place on the 15th of Av. In biblical times, this holiday was a matchmaking day. Women dressed in white and danced in the vineyards outside of Jerusalem. After the destruction of the Second Temple the holiday was not much celebrated. Recently, this holiday has had a revival and is now known as the Jewish Day of Love. Tu B’Av is now celebrated with festivals and songs, as well as acts of love and kindness.
My Learning Goals for this Holiday
My learning goals for this holiday are for my kiddos to family to know and experience a day dedicated to love. For us, this love is not just romantic love and thoughts about weddings and proposals, it’s also about familial love, being kind and showing love to others, and spreading love all throughout the world. What a wonderful holiday to celebrate!
The symbols of Tu B’Av are:
- hearts to symbolize love of course!
- chuppah and wedding symbols
