– Potluck Lunch – Vegan/vegetarian/dairy dishes only. (Please list ingredients)
– Tashlich & Art Project
Tashlich involves the casting of bread or stones into a natural body of water in a participatory, communal ceremony on the Rosh Hashanah holiday. Through this act, each participant distances herself or himself from past sins and harmful patterns, for the sake of a fresh start to the new year. This year for Tashlich we will create individual eco-friendly art that we can both cast into the water as part of the communal gathering, and also bring home. Our creative process will help us step boldly into the new year, with more inspiration and fewer obstacles from the past.
