10:00 am | Reverse Tashlich: International Jewish Waterfront Cleanup
This will be Temple Israel’s second time participating in the Annual Reverse Tashlich, an international waterfront cleanup event. 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. Location provided upon RSVP.
