Jewish Calendar/Holidays - www.chabad.org

John - thank you for your great letter of 11 July 2012 on The Year of the Rapture (Part Two), pointing very strongly to 2012 and, even more importantly, to the weeks that lie just ahead as a time of intense watching.  In particular, you highlight a less well known Jewish (mini) holiday of Tu B’Áv (Love and Rebirth).  Doves may be interested in a good website for information on the Jewish calendar and Jewish holidays (and lots more) - www.chabad.org.

Within the website there are three especially informative areas.  The first link provides information on Tisha BÁv and the three weeks of mourning leading up to Av 9 (the destruction of the Temple), and includes some information on Tu BÁv (for example - Indeed, the 15th of Av cannot but be a mystery. As the “full moon” of the tragic month of Av, it is the festival of the Future Redemption).

The second link provides a great outline of  Jewish holidays, and you can select the year that you are interested in (Tu BÁ visa a mini holiday and not listed here.  The third and final link is to a Jewish calendar.  Hope this helps to track our way through this expectant time.  Maranatha!  Denis
