Dear Friends,

Please join us for the Tashlich Service at the Franklin Cider Mill with apple cider and kosher donuts. 
Tashlich comes from the Hebrew word meaning "to cast," referring to the intent to cast away our sins via this meaningful and ancient Jewish custom common to both Ashkenazi and Sephardic communities.

Tashlich is usually performed on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. It may be performed up until Hoshanah Rabba (the last day of Sukkot), as some communities are anyway accustomed, except on Shabbat. 
  
We commemorate the self-sacrifice of Abraham by going to a river bank. Special verses are recited next to a body of water, such as a sea, river, stream, lake or pond, preferably one that has fish. Upon concluding the verses, the corners of one's clothes are shaken out; for males, this is usually done with the corners of the tallit katan (tzitzit garment).
