Reverse Tashlich: International Jewish Waterfront Cleanup
Join Temple Israel for the 7th Annual Reverse Tashlich, an international waterfront cleanup. For thousands of years, in a ritual called Tashlich, Jews around the world have symbolically cast their sins into a body of water on Rosh Hashanah. For many years, too, humans have been throwing their sins, trash and debris, into bodies of water as well. The Jewish community has shown we can cast sins in, now let’s take them out. Register HERE.
| On the Saturday evening prior to Rosh HaShanah, our congregation gathers together for a special Selichot program and prayer service. It is an evening of learning, prayer, reflection and return. We prepare not only ourselves for the serious work of the High Holy Days, but also our Torah Scrolls, as they are taken from the ark and dressed in the white mantels specific to the Days of Awe. |
