Chevra haChachamot on Nostr: Traditionally, Tu B'Av, a full-moon celebration focused on love & sensuality, arrives ...
Traditionally, Tu B'Av, a full-moon celebration focused on love & sensuality, arrives only six days after Tisha B'Av. As a community, we transition together from loss to love and then look ahead to Elul, a time for personal reflection.
Historically, Tu B'Av fell at the beginning of the grape harvest, when it was traditional for young women to dance together under the moon in white dresses.
This romantic notion can stir our imaginations & help us to appreciate the love in our own lives, and the more expansive way that we understand intimate relationships today. Tu B'Av can celebrate all kinds of love: that of partners, of friends & family. It can celebrate the love we feel for the planet & for humanity.
Tu B'Av begins tonight. The traditional blessing for the holiday, looking ahead to the new year, is: “May your inscription & seal be for good.” May it be so for each of us.
With Blessings,
