 Join Kehillath Shalom Synagogue at Centerport Beach on Sunday, September 12 at 10 am for the 4th Annual Reverse Tashlich.
What is Reverse Tashlich? On Rosh HaShanah, Jews around the world participate in the ancient ritual of Tashlich. We go to a body of water and symbolically cast off the sins of the past year by throwing breadcrumbs into the water to start the New Year with purity of heart. However, this is not the only time humans cast their “sins” into the sea. Every year, approximately six million tons of human-made trash enter the water, posing health and safety hazards to the animals that call the sea their home. We are joining Repair the Sea to add a modern ritual to the Jewish tradition: a beach clean-up on the Sunday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. At our event, we will symbolically, leave the past behind, care for creation through clean up, call ourselves and our community to responsibility and responsiveness through the sounding of the shofar, and share sweetness and wishes for the New Year. This event is geared for families and everyone else! RSVP to Rabbi Lina: rabbi@kehillathshalomsynagogue.org. Comments are closed.
