day as very joyous, it also
described what was observed
and that it was done in a pro-
per manner. The day was to
promote marriage which in
Judaism is looked upon as a
holy act.
As far as origins, one just
needs to look and read the
book of Judges (19:21) and see
how the observance
originated. After the civil war
between the tribe of Ben-
jamin and the other 11 tribes,
it was decreed that no one
could marry the daughters of
the tribe of Benjamin and on-
ly after the tribe of Benjamin
repented that this was an-
nulled and it was on Tu b'Av
that the decree was revoked
. . . This is the origination
and it is not from a pagan or
goyish observance that had to
do with the summer solstice.
That point is a complete
falsehood.
Another point is that
nowhere does it state that on
this date the Pharisses
(Perushim) defeated the
Saduccees (Tzedukim) during
the Second Temple time. It is
true these two sects were at
odds with each other over
many political reasons but as
far as a civil war and one
destroying the other, there is
no recording of such.
Finally, I can remember as
a young boy and even growing
up through the yeshiva, that
I and my peers always
recognized Tu b'Av by not
reciting the Tachanun
(penitential prayer that is
said daily except on joyous oc-
casions) in the davening. So it
has always been recognized
by the Orthodox as just a
minor holiday . . . but it has
not been totally disregarded
as the author implies.

FRIDAY, AUG. 28, 1987

The exciting Iran-contra
hearings, just concluded, have
many ramifications. One of
them touches on the role of
Israel so often mentioned by
the witnesses.
What motivated Israel to
take part in the actions and
transactions? The answer is
that Israel is deeply concern-
ed about the fate of 25,000
Jews held captive by the
Khomaniacs.
If the Reaganauts were
moved by the plight of a dozen
or so hostages, how much the
more was Israel troubled by
the fact that the Iranians
have almost Hitleristically
been oppressing their Jewish
residents.
It will be remembered that
one of the Ayatollah's first ac-

tions was to turn the onetime
Israel embassy in Teheran
over to the PLO, a band of
bandits intent on the elimina-
tion of Israel.
Reports out of Iran indicate
that the plight of the nation's
Jews is indeed dire. One story
has it that the Iranians have
dragooned teenaged Jews in-
to the interminable war with
Iraq. They have become
helpless cannon fodder. And
the Iranians have been but-
chering members of the
Baha'i, according to some
reports.
So we can understand the
reaction of Israel when it was
informed by U.S. operatives
that there might be a chance
to win and woo some
moderate Iranians who
reportedly might bring about
a new regime in that country
