September 30 - 9:00 am
L'shanah Tova! We are ready for the New Year and happy to celebrate with our community. We have a busy schedule for today, starting with the Children's Service at 9am, and finishing with Tashlich at 5pm. Check out the full schedule below. We look forward to having you join us for these High Holy Days.
|
|
|
|
September 30 - 5:00 pm
During Tashlich, we are outside, close to nature (the water, the sun) and to God, with the ability to look up and see the heavens. We hold a small piece of bread that represents all of our sins, and the water takes those sins away from us. It is not a cure but a reprieve, a chance for us to work on our spiritual healing in the coming year.
