Tu b’Av is a minor Jewish holiday associated with love and marriage that falls on the 15th day of the month of Av (July–August) on the Jewish calendar. Rabbinic texts do not afford it much religious significance, and it was largely forgotten until its revival in the 20th century in Israel as a cultural holiday of love and romance that is celebrated similarly to Valentine’s Day.
