Reverse Tashlich

Reverse Tashlich is an innovative approach to Jewish environmental stewardship. In the ritual of Tashlich on Rosh HaShanah, we go to a body of water and symbolically cast our "sins" into the water to begin the New Year with a clean heart. With Reverse Tashlich, we’re turning symbolism into action by removing human "sin" from the water.

Reverse Tashlich provides an opportunity to come together and engage in a hands-on effort to clean up our beaches, rivers, and shorelines, removing the plastic, trash, and other debris that threaten marine ecosystem.

Participants are strongly encouraged to bring work gloves, sunscreen, a water bottle, hats, and bug spray for their comfort. If you have any grabbers to snag trash in the water, bring those as well. We'll have snacks to share!
