Tu B'Av: what it is
The Mishnah (Taanit 4:8) says there were no days as joyful in Israel as the 15th of Av and Yom Kippur: the young women of Jerusalem went out to dance in the vineyards. It is not a yom tov.
The 15th of Av also marks the end of the mourning of the month of Av, and in Israel today it has become a festival of love.
What people do
- Tachanun is not said.
