[quote:Anonymous Coward 34760435:MV8yMjk5NzE4XzM5MTU3NzQxXzg5MjRFRTM2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 43820814:MV8yMjk5NzE4XzM5MTU3NzA0XzlEMjJERkJE] Said Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel: There were no greater festivals for Israel than the 15th of Av and Yom Kippur. (Talmud, Taanit 26b) The Talmud goes on to list several joyous events which occurred on the 15th day of the month of Av: The dying of the generation of the Exodus ceased. Several months after the people of Israel were freed from Egyptian slavery, the incident of the spies demonstrated their unpreparedness for the task of conquering the land of Canaan and developing it as the Holy Land. G‑d decreed that that entire generation would die out in the desert, and that their children would enter the land in their stead (as recounted in Numbers 13 and 14). After 40 years of wandering through the wilderness, the dying finally ended, and a new generation of Jews stood ready to enter the Holy Land. It was the 15th of Av of the year 2487 from creation (1274 BCE). As long as members of this doomed generation were still alive, G‑d didn’t communicate with Moses. As soon as the last of these men died, once again G‑d lovingly communicated with Moses. The tribes of Israel were permitted to intermarry. In order to ensure the orderly division of the Holy Land between the twelve tribes of Israel, restrictions had been placed on marriages between members of two different tribes. A woman who had inherited tribal lands from her father was forbidden to marry out of her tribe, lest her children—members of their father’s tribe—cause the transfer of land from one tribe to another by inheriting her estate (as recounted in Numbers 36). This ordinance was binding on the generation that conquered and settled the Holy Land; when the restriction was lifted, on the 15th of Av, the event was considered a cause for celebration and festivity. http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/717167/jewish/Why-Do-We-Celebrate-the-15th-of-Av.htm [/quote] ok.... that is strange.
