What is Tu B'Av?

Tu B’Av:- the 15th of Av. One week after Tisha B’Av, one of the saddest day of the Jewish calendar, comes Tu B’Av, which is one of the happiest days. Tu B’Av traditionally marked the end of summer and of all the holidays for that year. In just a few weeks Jews could look forward to the cycle of holidays starting again with Rosh HaShana. For many centuries, the holiday of Tu B’Av was forgotten, but now many Jews are looking for ways to revive it.
