The point of this post was to counter-balance the secular-Israeli notion that Tu B'Av is the Festival-of-Love; a "free pass" to display affection in public, etc.<BR/><BR/>The Halocho contained is subtle; how the Rabbis frowned upon immodest behavior.<BR/><BR/>Read this part again and you'll notice it in the last line:<BR/><BR/>"Since these 2 days were days of purification from sin, the earlier generations did not hesitate to regard them as days of festivity and dancing for the daughters of Israel... and there was no apprehension lest they breach the fence of chastity and modesty."<BR/><BR/>But your point is well taken; I do usually try make the Halacha more obvious.<BR/><BR/>Have a great week,<BR/><BR/>- DannyDanny Schoemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242699287595683509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579656009010996801.post-21683352173085146182008-09-08T12:52:00.000+03:002008-09-08T12:52:00.000+03:00Hi Danny,Thank you for sending me thse Halochot.

So if you have a minute, I wouldn't mind a reply.<BR/>People asking you for advice should be your only problem.<BR/>EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579656009010996801.post-40903714647664805222008-08-14T12:45:00.000+03:002008-08-14T12:45:00.000+03:00Corret, as we learn the following day in Halocho...Corret, as we learn the following day in <A HREF="http://halocho.blogspot.com/2008/08/halocho-145-why-is-tu-bav-joyous-day.html" REL="nofollow">Halocho #145 - Why is Tu B'Av a joyous day? </A>Danny Schoemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242699287595683509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579656009010996801.post-78428167352138549992008-08-12T05:52:00.000+03:002008-08-12T05:52:00.000+03:00The gemara also brings down that tu b'av is when ...The gemara also brings down that <BR/>tu b'av is when it became permissible for the tribes in the desert to intermarry for the first time at the end of the 40 years in the desert.Eli Lazovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490211595204128061noreply@blogger.com
