The fifteenth of Menachem Av (Tu B'Av) is considered a Yom
Tov because of several reasons: First, it is the day that
bnei Yisroel stopped dying in the Sinai Desert.
Second, bnei Yisroel were then allowed to marry from
one shevet to the other, and those from shevet
Binyomin were allowed to marry within bnei Yisroel.
Third, on this day Hoshei'a ben Aloh removed the barricades
originally put up by Yerovam ben Navot preventing bnei
Yisroel to be oleh regel. Fourth, bnei
Yisroel then stopped chopping down wood for the
mizbei'ach and therefore they had more time to study
Torah. Sixth, on this day those killed in Beitar were
buried.

appreciate — this truth, has led to very upsetting
analogies.
What is a Human Being?
By R' Dovid Kornreich
The secular world bombards us with messages — both
explicit and implicit — that human beings are simply
intelligent members of the animal kingdom. It would seem that
the whole advertising industry is built upon the very
profitable premise that we are very much subject to
manipulation by internal drives and external pressures.
