Not quite the way it is mentioned in the Talmud, but a call from Israel reminds me that this Shabbat is Tu B’Av — the 15th day of the month of Av — and a good to bring your spouse, or anyone you care about, a gift, or just to tell them that you care. In Israel, sort of like our St Valentine’s Day.
Or as noted byYosef I. Abramowitz & Rabbi Susan Silverman
Tu B’Av is a great day for weddings, commitment ceremonies, renewal of vows, or proposing. It is a day for enhancing current relationships or defining anew what you are looking for in a partner. It is a day for romance, explored through singing, dancing, giving flowers, and studying.
