Tu B'Av: The Jewish Valentine's Day (of sorts)

This evening begins the holiday of Tu B'Av; not Tu B'Shevat but Tu B'Av. Tu B'Av is celebrated in Israel as a "give the girlfriend a heart shaped box of candy, and pray she doesn't say 'Where are the diamonds?'" kind of day. But in reality, Tu B'Av was the day in which the virgins in the village would borrow white gowns, run into a field and dance. Cavemen single guys would run into the field, snatch a virgin, and voila, no longer single. Anyways, the point is the malls are packed with guys getting last minute chotchkes.
