Tashlikh Prayers Hashiveinu, Hashiveinu, Adonai eilecha V’nashuvah, v’nashuvah. Chadeish, chadeish, Yameinu k’kedem. Help us to return to You, O God; then truly shall we return. Renew our days as in the past. * * * * * Tashlikh means “you will throw.” On Rosh Hashanah, we ask God to throw away the mistakes we’ve made this year. As we stand at the edge of the water, we shake loose the mistakes of the past year and everything we do not like about ourselves. We ask God to allow these mistakes to be washed away. Micah 7 18] Who is a God like You, Forgiving errors, Excusing mistakes; Who doesn’t stay angry With Your people Israel Because You love kindness. 19] You will take us back in love; You will forgive our mistakes, You will throw all our sins Into the depths of the sea. We take a moment to think about the mistakes we made this year, the things we’d like to throw away: We have made mistakes on purpose. We have made mistakes by not caring. We have made mistakes by accident. We have made mistakes by using words carelessly. We have made mistakes by using words to cause pain. Some Jews used to jump into the water and swim like fish to wash away their sins. Others floated candles on the water. Today, we throw stones into the water. As they sink away, we ask God to help us say we’re sorry for the mistakes we’ve made. We have made mistakes by being sneaky. We have made mistakes by hurting others. We have made mistakes by lying. We have made mistakes by not stopping ourselves from doing things we really wanted to do, even when we knew it was wrong. WE THROW OUR STONES INTO THE WATER * * * * * Hashiveinu, Hashiveinu, Adonai eilecha V’nashuvah, v’nashuvah. Chadeish, chadeish, Yameinu k’kedem. Help us to return to You, O God; then truly shall we return. Renew our days as in the past. L’Shanah Tovah Tikateivu! May you be inscribed for blessing for a good year!

ECI Co-Hosts First Ever Tashlikh Ceremony at the UN
ECI co-hosts first ever Tashlikh ceremony at the UN Time to honour the Jewish people and their culture Press Release — September 30, 2015 UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, together with other top UN officials and senior diplomats from some 50 nations, have gathered at the UN Rose garden in New York to celeb- rate the Jewish New Year Rosh Hashanah and prepare for the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. The unique event was hosted by the Israeli Mission to the UN and the Forum for Cultural Diplomacy, which is a European Coalition for Israel initiative to the UN. In accordance with the ancient Jewish custom of Tashlikh, in- vited guests, led by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon threw Sep. 21, 2015 breadcrumbs into the East River, as a symbol of the tossing away of one’s sin in order to start the new year on a clean (In the picture, from left to right: Rabbi Arthur slate.

Senior Rabbi Arthur Schneier of the Park East Synagogue, who led the religious ceremony, saw the event as an answer to many years of prayer as the UN officially acknowledged the importance of Yom Kippur as the holiest day in the Jewish calendar and its universal relevance to the UN institutions.

Jewish Emancipation and Schism: Economic Development and Religious Change ∗
Jewish Emancipation and Schism: Economic Development and Religious Change ∗ Jean-Paul Carvalho Mark Koyama University of California, Irvine George Mason University June 17, 2016 Abstract This paper studies the impact of Jewish Emancipation and economic develop- ment on Jewish religious culture in 19th century Europe. In Germany, a liberal Reform movement developed in response to emancipation, while ultra-Orthodox Judaism emerged in eastern Europe. We develop a historical narrative and model of religious organization that accounts for the polarized responses by Jewish com- munities. Our explanation is based on a tradeoff between time and money contri- butions. A religious organization chooses between a relatively affluent community that expends little effort on religious participation and a poorer community that devotes a large amount of time and effort to religious activity. Political and economic development shape this tradeoff in unexpected ways, leading to com- plex forms of behavior such as religious schisms and cycles. When preferences are transmitted intergenerationally, organizations tend to be more conservative. Our historical narrative points to further extensions of extant models of religion, as well as providing broader insights into cultural integration and religious change.

Tashlikh Podcast 5781 Rabbi Phil Bressler
Tashlikh Podcast 5781 Rabbi Phil Bressler Shanah tovah! Thank you for downloading this self-guided Tashlikh podcast, presented by Beit Am – the Jewish community of Oregon's Mid-Willamette Valley. I'm Rabbi Phil Bressler As we enter the new year 5781, we face unprecedented challenges in the form of COVID-19 pandemic and wildfires that have made the air outside hazardous and unhealthy. Gathering together in person for High Holiday services OR the ritual of Tashlikh just isn't safe this year. That's why we've prepared this audio guide – to support you in carrying out your own ritual, in a way that's comfortable and safe for you. No books or printouts required – just your phone or mp3 player, headphones if you like, and something symbolic to cast into the water. Before we begin, here are some suggestions for how to create a mindful and meaningful experience: Look for a natural body of water that you can access easily. Tashlich involves symbolically casting off your sins into a body of water like a river, spring, lake, pond, or well. Most people prefer natural, flowing bodies of water because it gives the effect of your sins being swept away by the current. Remember, it’s acceptable to perform Tashlich even if you can see the water only from a distance. If you can, find a body of water with fish living in it. Fish have a special symbolism for Tashlich. Just as fish can suddenly find themselves caught in nets, so too do we humans sometimes unintentionally find ourselves caught in bad habits or situations that lead us to act in ways we regret.

The Instructions and Brachot for Tashlich
Tashlich 5781/2020 Compiled/Edited by Rabbi Yael Hammerman Hi-ney mah tov u-mah na-im she-vet a-chim gam ya-chad. How good and how pleasant it is to come together as family and friends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Micah 7:18-19 Who is a God like You, forgiving iniquity and pardoning the transgression of the remnant of Your people? You do not maintain anger forever, but You delight in loving-kindness. You will again have compassion upon us, subduing our sins, casting all our sins into the depths of the sea. מִי־אֵֵ֣ל כָּמ֗ ֹוָךנֹשֵֵׂ֤ א עָּוֹן֙ וְעֹבֵֵ֣רעַל־פ עֶּ֔שַ לִשְ אֵרִ יתִ֖ נַחֲלָּת֑ ֹו לֹא־ה חֱזִ ֵׂ֤יק לָּעַד֙אַפֶּ֔ ֹו כִִּֽ י־חָּפֵֵ֥ץ ח דִ֖ס הִּֽ ּוא׃ יָשּׁ֣וב יְרַֽ חֲמֵ֔ נּו ביִכְ שֹּ֖ עֲו ַֽ נ ֵ֑תינּו ְו ת ְש ִ ִ֛ליְך ִב ְמ ֻצ ֥לֹות ָיֹּ֖ם ָכל־ חט או ַָֽתם׃ Mishnah Yoma 8:9 Yom Kippur atones only for transgressions between human beings and God. For transgressions between one individual and another, atonement is achieved only by reconciling the person who has been offended. Zohar Whatever falls into the deep is lost forever; it acts like the scapegoat for the absolution of sins. Tashlich 5781/2020 Compiled/Edited by Rabbi Yael Hammerman On Rosh Hashanah, standing by the water, emptying our pockets of the remaining crumbs of sin, we turn to you, O God, Creator of heaven and earth, Creator of the water. We pour out like water the confession of our sin. Hear our prayer, and Tashlikh, cast all our sins into the ocean’s depths.
