If this is a repost of info already submitted then forgive me...   The 15th of Av was a traditional "match making " day for unmarried women in the 2nd Temple period.  This year that is going to be on August 5th.  It is celebrated one week after the day of mourning in Jewish customs and it was a day when inter marrying other tribes was permitted...(Jewish Messiah and gentile bride or the church?)   http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Holidays/Summer_Holidays/Tu_B_Av/tu_b_av.html   Just a few thouhgts on this   Clint
