Tashlich with Teens: A Discussion & Ritual Guide
A new take on an ancient ritual to engage the teens in your life in dialogue and reflection during the High Holidays.
About this Guide
Tashlich is a High Holiday ritual of throwing into a river breadcrumbs (or an ecologically friendly alternative, such as rice paper), as a symbolic casting out of our misdeeds from the past year.
The ritual takes its name from Micah 7:19, in which the prophet described God as forgiving the people: “You shall throw away (תַשְׁלִיךְ – tashlich) into the deep sea all of our sins.” This ritual guide, designed for parents and teens, can be used anytime through Sukkot near a body of water.
This resource is designed for parents but can be used by educators as well.
