Tashlich

Tashlich is a Jewish ritual performed during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. It involves symbolically casting away sins by tossing pieces of bread or stones into flowing water, such as a river or stream. This act represents a spiritual cleansing and a desire to start the new year renewed and purified. The ritual encourages reflection on past mistakes and commitments to personal improvement. Tashlich often takes place outdoors near natural water sources and is a meaningful way to embody repentance and hope for a better year ahead.
