According to the Mishna, Tu B'Av was a joyous holiday in the days of the Temple in Jerusalem, marking the beginning of the grape harvest. Yom Kippur marked the end of the grape harvest. On both dates the unmarried girls of Jerusalem dressed in white garments, and went out to dance in the vineyards.
Like Valentine's Day, Tu B'Av is celebrated in Israel with flowers, cards, romantic dinners, parties and festivals of singing and dancing. Women and men are keeping the tradition of wearing white at many of these celebrations. The holiday is also considered to be a good date for a wedding.
