Join us at Lakeside Pavillion in Druid Hill Park for a morning of activities, seasonal treats (did someone say apples and honey?), music, and the opportunity to cast into the water what no longer serves you. A fun and communal way to help celebrate the High Holiday season and enjoy some outside time with friends, old and new.
Tashlich, 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.
From 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.
