The New Reform Temple will be joined by Congregation B’nai Jehudah in celebrating the Rosh Hashanah tradition of Tashlich on the afternoon of Rosh Hashanah (Tuesday, September 23) at 5 pm. We are joining together as two congregations to affirm the need for a unified Jewish community.
Traditionally during Tashlich, Jews go to a body of running water and throw the crumbs into the water while reciting special passages of scripture and prayers. The crumbs are meant to represent the sins we’ve been carrying around with us throughout the year. Throwing them into the water represents our hope that we can take our sins, ask forgiveness of God and one another, and then cast them away.
