Community Tashlich Prayer Service & Shofar

COMMUNITY TASHLICH PRAYER SERVICE & SHOFAR
Monday, September 30 | 6 PM

We will meet at the center of the Holocaust Park facing the Sheepshead Bay. The service will include the sounding of the Shofar by Rabbi Winner.

Prayer booklets will be provided and treats for the Children

On the first day of Rosh Hashanah after the afternoon prayer, we go to a lake, river or to the sea (preferably one that has fish), and recite the Tashlich prayers, where we symbolically cast our sins into the water and leave our shortcomings behind us, thus starting the new year with a clean slate.

If one is unable to perform this ceremony on Rosh Hashanah, one may do so until the last day of Sukkot (this year, October 20, 2019).
