We’ll also work to shake off the residue that collects on the spirit and our best intentions from Yom Kippur last year to Rosh Hashanah this year. We will consider the wisdom of past sages on how to enter this season\, and set some of our own intentions\, making our own plan for the High Holiday season\, readying ourselves to receive the holidays with meaning and joy. \n\n\n \nThis series is designed to build from one week to the next\, but will not leave behind anyone able to join for only one of the two sessions.

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.
