A fun and communal way to help celebrate the High Holiday season and enjoy some outside time with friends\, old and new. \n\n\n \nTashlich\, meaning to cast away\, is a ritual associated with the High Holiday season that invites us to reflect on what no longer serves us and cast it away. In preparation for a new Jewish calendar year\, this practice allows us to start the year with a little less weighing on our spirit. With each pebble we cast into the waters\, we release that which we want to shed before Yom Kippur begins\, and a new year is underway. \n\n\n \nFrom 11 – 11:30 am\, Rabbis Andy Gordon and Jessy Dressin will lead a brief program with story\, song\, and guidance for how to take part in the tashlich ritual. Great for people of all ages. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Upcoming Events\n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Young Adult Sip & Create\n As we enter the month of Elul\, join the Young Adult Division (YAD) and BHC YoPro and The Studio to create artwork that sets your […] \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Associated’s Leadership Summit & 2027 Annual Campaign Kickoff\n Looking Ahead.
