"Andrea..Tu B' Av"
I am not trying to speak for Mathman, and I will see perhaps
tomorrow like everyone else if there is a type of planetary
alignment for a marriage? With that said upon looking at
different articles on the board it is interesting that Steven
K..wrote that Rabbi Kaduri is quoted as saying that Jesus will
come in 5772 during the month of Av. Five days after the 9th of
Av is Tu B' Av (Aug 3), which several people on this board have
done an outstanding job of research through the years. It is
considered the Jewish Valentine's day, but for me to describe it
as such is really an injustice. It is a day very rich in "type"
the tribe of Benjamin was allowed to snatch a bride on this day,
and if I am not mistaken every year in the wilderness the
Israelites would dig a grave before Tu B' Av and sleep in them,
and then the announcement would be made the next morning about
"Let the Living Arise". After years in the wilderness the
very last Tu B' Av no one died so they stayed in their graves
thinking they had miscalculated, and about 5 days later they
realized everyone who was suppose to die had, and it eventually
through the course of time became a celebration..Food for
Thought ..Let the Living Arise and the Snatching of a
Bride..Sounds Good to Me...Jimmy
PS
Andrea, they actually slept in their graves over the 9th of Av,
and 5 days later was Tu B' Av the day that became a celebration.
I didn't write that very clear. Thanks, Jimmy
