Join other TE members as we remove ‘sins’ from the ocean by cleaning up Woodmont Beach as part of TE’s second Reverse Tashlich. The event, part of a worldwide event, takes place on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 1:30 p.m. at Woodmont Beach.
“For hundreds of years, Jews have symbolically thrown their sins into the water on Rosh Hashana,” says Karen Fenichel, co-chair. “We’re going to remove some of mankind’s sins by cleaning up the beach as part of Reverse Tashlich.”
Individuals, families and friends are invited to join the effort, which nationally is part of the Sixth Annual Reverse Tashlich. While we are working on Woodmont Beach, Jews around the world will be cleaning up waterways and beaches near their homes. The effort is the largest Jewish aquatic restoration community in the world. The Reverse Tashlich is sponsored internationally by Repair the Sea. Locally, Save the Sound is assisting with our effort.
“Doing Reverse Tashlich around Rosh Hashana allows us to connect spiritual and ethical values with environmental stewardship,” said Adam Spiewak, co-chair. “When you realize how much trash there is on the beach, it really makes you think about what we’re doing to the world and what we can do about it.”
