The first Farbrengen and Siyum of this year in honor of the 15th of Av took place in the Chabad Shteible, in Bondi, NSW, Australia.
The siyum was made by Rabbi Chaim Ingram, honorary secretary of the RCNSW.
Rabbi Pinchus HaCohen Feldman said words of inspiration.
In honor of the occasion the national food of Australia, meat pies and chips were distributed to all, to the special joy of the children.
What is “Tu B’Av”? Chamisho Osor B’Ov I know about, but “Tu”?! When did people start using such a name for it? Even for the corresponding day in Shevat it’s an ugly innovation, but at least it’s been around for about a century, so people have unfortunately become accustomed to it. But when did they start doing the same thing to this day?
is often used to count up from yud daled because yud – hey is a name of Hashem
But the Rebbe never used TU. Because other terms are mishnah and gemorah terms and have special gematriyos etc.
The number after yud dalet is tes vov, not “tu”.
