Additional Luach Information The Shabbos after Tisha B'Av, parshas Voeschanon, is called Shabbos Nachamu because of the haftorah in Yeshaya 40 "Console, console My people" that is read on that Shabbos. This haftorah starts a series of shivah denechemtoh (seven haftoros of consolation). 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 Nevot preventing bnei Yisroel to be oleh regel. Fourth, bnei Yisroel then stopped chopping down wood for the mizbeiach and therefore they had more time to study Torah. Sixth, on this day those killed in Beitar were buried.
