Israel on Valentine’s Day

   My husband and I celebrate the Israeli version of Valentine’s Day by going to the beach, having picnics and doing other “summer” activities. This is because the equivalent of Valentine’s Day in Israel falls on Tu’B’Av- usually around the middle of August.

   February 14^th is just like any other day of the year in Israel. There are not a lot of flowers bought. Red and white chocolate hearts do not show up in many stores. It leaves those of us who want a romantic Valentine’s Day looking for something special to do.

   This year Shmuel surprised me on Shabbat. When we first started dating, we used to take my laptop and sit 
down on the Tayelet and watch movies together, with Jerusalem in the background.
