Reverse Tashlich
Reverse Tashlich
Buffalo’s 3rd Annual Reverse Tashlich Sunday, September 10th, 2023 at 2:00 pm On Rosh Hashanah it is customary to go to a body of water and symbolically cast our sins into the water during a Tashlich Service. At Reverse Tashlich, we do the opposite. As a united Jewish community, we remove our sins from the water to clean up our waterfronts. This is an ALL AGES event and open to the community.
