Tu B’av at the Bible Lands Museum

In honor of Tu B’av and inspired by the “Angels and Demons” exhibit, theBible Lands museum offers seven days of enchanted love, for all lovers that would like to hold on to their love, to bring excitement and newness to it, and for those that are still searching for love.

Activities and specials include: Tours about love, relationships, and enchantments in the ancient world, love potions and enchantments, discounts for couples, and surprise packages for lovers.

Love is fickle–here one day and gone the next. Therefore, it’s no surprise that lovers have made much use of magic and enchantments, which helped people throughout the ages attain love, keep and strengthen it, take it from someone else, and so on.

In the museum’s permanent exhibits, as well as in the temporary displays, there are fascinating displays related to love and relationships. A lavish Greek wedding gift, replications of gods in charge of love and fertility, marriage contracts, and more. One of the displays in the new exhibit “Angels and Demons” is a voodoo doll with her hands and legs tied up which was used to tie the heart of a lover to the doll, a plate with an inscription of an ancient prayer for fertility for men, a book of practical Kaballah with recipes for love, for improving relationships, and revealing the sex of a fetus, a piece of material with an erotic incantation, and more.
