Place: on the banks for the Raritan River in Donaldson Park, Highland Park

Join us for this wonderful and spiritually powerful service on Rosh Hashanah. At the Tashlich ceremony, which will be held on the banks of the Raritan River in Donaldson Park in Highland Park at 4:30 pm, we will symbolically cast away our sins by throwing crumbs of bread into a body of moving water.

The Tashlich service gives us the opportunity to physically toss out our shortcomings in the midst of a warm, family-friendly service. Plan to be a part of this moving and meaningful aspect of the High Holy Days
