Renewal Tashlich Ceremony

This alternative Tashlich ceremony includes biblical passages and excerpts from traditional prayers, together with an original poem-prayer written by Rabbi Rachel Barenblat. During Tashlich, Jews symbolically cast away their sins into a body of water. Ideally performed on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, it is permitted to do this ritual until Hoshanah Rabah, the seventh day of Sukkot. There are many different customs as to which texts should be recited during this ritual. Rabbi Barenblat, also known by the name of her blog, The Velveteen Rabbi, is a Renewal rabbi serving the trans-denominational Congregation Beth Israel in North Adams, MA.
