Alef: The NEXT Conversation

Israeli Slang 101 – Tu B'Av Special

Tu B’Av (the Jewish ‘Valentines Day’) gives us tan girls in white dresses, permission to “frolick” in big empty fields, and an acceptable occasion to “pick a mate.”

How did we not celebrate this for 1900 years?

Our resident Israeli (i.e. smooth, suave), Yishai, shares some tips on how to woo your “mate.”
