Valentine’s Day in Israel is not the same kind of celebration as it is in North America and Europe; however, it has gained popularity and is celebrated more in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem with a variety of parties, concerts, and special romantic dinners on February 14, 2027. In Israel, there is another day that celebrates love called Tu B’Av that takes place in the summer months, this year on August 17th-18th, 2027. This means there are two dates to celebrate love in Israel.
