JLL Preparation Focus: Casting off and Planting
One of the activities in which our K-5 grade students (and some of their parents) participated this Saturday and Sunday was to reflect on the past year and write answers to particular prompts on two different kinds of paper: water dissolving paper and seed imbedded paper.
On Rosh Hashanah, we participate in tashlich, the ritual casting off of sins into a moving body of water. We also use the new year as an opportunity to make resolutions and identify hopes and dreams for the coming year.
If you participated in this activity, remember to dissolve your paper on Rosh Hashanah and plant your paper and watch what grows!
If you did not, take a moment to consider:
Our liturgy teaches that for transgressions of one human being against another, the Day of Atonement does not atone unless they have made peace with one another. For what/to whom do you need to apologize? When did you miss the mark this year?
What are your hopes/dreams/goals/vision for the year 5783? As an individual? As a family? As a community?
