Tashlich 2020

Tashlich 2020

All over the world, Jews gather on the afternoon of Rosh Hashanah to perform tashlich, a simple but ancient ritual for symbolically casting away our sins (often in the form of breadcrumbs) into a flowing body of water. For both children and adults, tashlich is a physical act that engages all the senses-whether it's the thoughtful walk to the water, the satisfying toss of the breadcrumbs, or the chance to see how far they will travel.

This year, our clergy will be present at North Hempstead Bar Beach on Saturday, September 19, to personally guide you through the act of tashlich. Additionally, live shofar blowing by our very own members will take place every hour onsite.

To participate in tashlich, YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER FOR A TIME SLOT. In order to abide by health and safety standards for in-person meetings, a maximum of 45 people will be able to sign up for a time slot. Once the limit is reached, the time slot will be closed.  

In the event of inclement weather, tashlich will be rescheduled for Sunday, September 20 (with the same time slots).
 

Additional people in my party (every person, no matter their age, must be registered for the specific time slot)
In an effort to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, individuals coming to Temple Sinai of Roslyn must adhere to the policy below. This measure, like face masks, hand washing and social distancing, is intended to protect the health of the community. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 has an incubation period of up to 14 days. This means that even if YOU feel fine, you could be unknowingly spreading the virus to the people around you for as long as two weeks. We appreciate your honesty.
