Tu B’Av
Open your heart. Tu B’Av is an ancient matchmaking holiday, revived in recent years as a celebration of love and friendship.
Today, Tu B’Av is an opportunity to bring more love into our self-awareness, our simple interactions with others, and our significant relationships. The world can use as much love as we can give. At the JCCSF, one of our core values is re-ut, friendship. We delight in the many ways to express love in our relationships and in our community.
Tu B’Av begins at sunset, July 28 // Observed July 29, 2026
