*’av’ is the ’11th month’ of the ‘civil year’ and the ‘5th month’ of the ‘ecclesiastical year’ on the “hebrew calendar”*
.
(the name is ‘babylonian’ in origin and appeared in the ‘talmud’ around the ‘3rd century’)
(this is the only month which is not named in the ‘bible’)
(it is a ‘summer month’ of ’30 days’)
(‘av’ usually occurs in ‘july’ / ‘august’ on the ‘gregorian calendar’)
(the “babylonian talmud” (‘taanit 29a’), states that “when we enter [the month of] av, our joy is diminished”)
(this is because the ‘darkest events’ in ‘jewish history’ occurred during the first ‘week and a half’ of this month, particularly ‘the 9 days’ which culminate in tisha B’Av (the 9th of Av))
(however, there is a ‘minor’ and ‘largely unknown’ holiday during the ‘full moon’ of the month called ‘tu B’Av’ which was (in ancient times) one of the happiest ‘days’ of the ‘year’)
.
(the month is also sometimes referred to as menachem av (hebrew: מנחם אב) (av of comfort or comforter of father(s)), but most only use this title in the ‘sanctification’ of the month recited on the ‘shabbat’ before ‘rosh chodesh’ and following “tisha b’av”)
