September 17, 2023 @ 9:15 am – 11:00 am
In Collaboration with Temple Avodat Shalom
The Tashlich Service will begin at 9:15 am and Apples & Honey Picnic begins at 9:45 am.
Let’s join Rabbi Jim Stoloff and his Temple Avodat Shalom congregation in the park for a family-friendly (quick!) “tashlich” service.
Tashlich, which literally translates to “casting off,” is a ceremony when we symbolically cast off the sins of the previous year by tossing pebbles or bread crumbs into flowing water. During this ritual, people think of things they’ve done wrong in the past year and then “throw them away,” promising for improvement in the coming year.
Including kids in a simple, age-appropriate tashlich ceremony is a great way to build understanding about the ritual while building a fun family tradition.
After the ceremony, congregants from the synagogue will go across the street to continue their service (all are welcome to join them) and our J on the Go families will stay in the park and have an apples & honey little picnic.
This program is offered complimentary, courtesy of Temple Avodat Shalom but RSVP’s are appreciated.
Cost: Free but RSVP appreciated
