\"love<\/a>Before speed dating, J-Date, Valentines Day or Sadie Hawkins Day<\/a>, there was the original ancient Love Holiday -Tu B’Av. Jewish maidelach and suitors went out into the fields to see and be seen, really, the first Jewish singles event.  It’s a celebration of love for everyone.<\/p>\n

Tu B’Av<\/a>, the 15th Day of Av, is a day of joy, a day for matchmaking dating back to the second Temple period (before the fall of Jerusalem in 70 C.E.).<\/p>\n

Jewlicious and JconnectLA are producing the biggest celebration of Tu B’Av to hit the City of Angels, Love Fest, on Aug. 14, 8:30pm-1am, at Fu’s Palace Restaurant. Tickets are just $15 in advance, $20 at the door and include your first drink ticket.  Students with ID can get in for $15.<\/p>\n

Co-sponsored by Taglit Birthright Israel-NEXT, Jewcy, the Jewish Agency, ModernTribe.com, and Cool Jew Book, expect a festive romantic evening of music, humor, matchmaking, cool swag, $7 drinks, and yummy eats.<\/p>\n

Entertainment for the evening includes the hilarious and talented Smooth-E, Jewish rockers 8th Day, the mystic rhythms of DJ Eric Rosen, and the unmatched energy and spirit of MOSHAV.<\/p>\n

Lisa Alcalay Klug will be offering a sneak preview of her much anticipated book Cool Jew<\/em><\/a>, which is not for sale until Sept. 1 – but we’ll have it on sale at Love Fest.<\/p>\n

Rabbi Yonah and Rachel Bookstein will be unveiling Instant Matchmaking™.  Love Fest’ers need to be there early to have your chance at an Instant Match – all done in the spirit of Tu B’Av. Who knows what waits in store for you at Love Fest?<\/p>\n

If you already have a special someone, celebrate your love during this ancient festival, with hundreds of others at Love Fest. Don’t let Love Fest pass you by, it only happens once a year.<\/p>\n
