Tu B'Av (which just means the 15th day of the month of Av) is an ancient matchmaking festival. Its first mention is in the Mishnah (Ta’anit 4). It has been revived in recent years as a kind of Jewish Valentine's Day.
For past posts on it, see here and links.
Pardon my tardiness again this year. I was away this week (hence no posting yesterday) and missed it.
