| The month of AV is the fifth month of the year on the Biblical calendar, counting from Nisan as the first month. The name is Babylonian in origin and appeared in the Talmud around the 3rd century. This is the only month which is not named in the Bible. It is a summer month of 30 days. Av usually occurs in July–August on the Gregorian calendar that we use in the United States today.
The Babylonian Talmud, Taanit 29a, states that: “when we enter [the month of] Av, our joy is diminished”. This is because the darkest events in Jewish history occurred during the first week and a half of this month, particularly The Nine Days which culminate in Tisha B’Av, the 9th of Av. The Nine Days begin on the “First of Av” and culminates on the public fast day of Tisha B’Av (“Ninth of Av”). Excerpt Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Av. |

5th Month is AV |
The Hebrew month of Av is the fifth of the twelve months on the Biblical Calendar. The name Av literally means “father.” Av derives from the root, which means, “to will” or “to desire.”
This month is the “low point” for the Jewish people. The 9th of Av was the day the people of Israel chose to receive the negative report of the 10 spies and refused to enter the Promised Land. This date (9th of Av) marks the destruction of both the first and second Temples in Jerusalem. If you study the history of the Jews, you discover that the Jews are caught in a cycle of destruction. |
