“THE 9 DAYS OF AV”

.

*’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”)
