TheJewishWoman.org Update: August 2, 2009 | | The Month of Av |  | Celebrating My Bat Mitzvah at Fifty-Four
— A Tu B'Av Birthday and the Power of Renewal
by Liz Davidson
My Hebrew birth date is the 15th of Av, Tu b'Av-- a joyous occasion representing the ending of many poignant events in our history, and therefore representative of many new beginnings.

— Lessons From My Teenager
by Lysa Appleton

— The Holiday of Tu B'av
Based on the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe

By Esther Cameron
Dance, maidens of Jerusalem,
Defying guns and drought.
Though foes surround Jerusalem,
Love can banish fear and doubt. | | Humor |  | Memo To My Kids At Camp:
— Don't Call! Love, Mom
By Judy Gruen
In most ways I'm a classic Jewish mother. If I'm cold, I tell my kids to put on sweaters. But I depart from the stereotypes in one significant way: I really am not interested in hearing from my kids every day when they are away at camp... |
