enjoy this and maybe even share it with some ... Richard

*Roshashana Tashlik *

On the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, you are all invited to join us 
for an
ecumenical (all faiths welcome) celebration of Tashlik. To start the
new year with a clean beginning, Tashlik involves the ritual and
symbolic casting of our year's accumulated sins into the waters,
allowing us to purify our hearts and souls for the new year. Usually
this involves walking with one's family or congregation to the banks
of a river or the sea, and casting pieces of bread (symbolic sins)
into the water to be washed away.

. . . . .
WHAT ELSE TO BRING:

1)  Plenty of accumulated sins to throw (you have three more weeks to
accumulate these if you need extra time and  sins),

2)  A readiness to start the new year with an open heart.

3)  Bits of bread to cast into the waters
