Dear Doves,

 

I would like to pose a question.

 

For several years, the date August 16th has stuck in my mind.

 

I have tried to research it , and really find nothing of special note on that date in history.

 

Every year, as the date  approaches, I begin to wonder.

 

I have always felt it had something to do with Israel.

 

Recently, I have come to knowledge , ( thru Fivedoves.com ) that the celebration of Tu B' Av occurs around this time.  Thanks to all the Doves, for all the posts on this fascinating subject.

 

Does this August 16th , 2011 have a special meaning ?

 

This August 16th may come and go without incident, and I suppose I will go on wondering.

 

I wish I could get it off my mind, but every year, it starts again.

 

Watching, waiting, and trying to stay patient.........joechappell
