Creative Days of Awe at Bonai

Zoom Tashlich, Shabbat Shuvah, Virtual Break-the-Fast? After a successful and meaningful virtual Rosh HaShanah, Congregation Bonai Shalom is ready to continue offering creative ways to connect spiritually and reflect with our community. Here are some of the programs we have coming up in the next week.

• Virtual Tashlich – Tashlich, or “casting off,” is a ceremony in which we symbolically cast off the sins of the previous year by tossing pebbles or bread crumbs into flowing water. Our community Tashlich will look a little different this year. While we will miss gathering by the creek, we are offering a virtual way to be connected to this important ritual.
