Reverse Tashlich at Burcham Park
Sunday, September 29, 2024 • 26 Elul 5784
10:00 AM - 12:00 PMSouth Powerhouse Road, Lawrence, KS 66044On Rosh HaShanah, Jews around the world participate in the ancient ritual of Tashlich. We go to a body of water and symbolically cast off the sins of the past year into the water to start the New Year with purity of heart. However, this is not the only time humans cast their “sins” into the sea. Every year, approximately six million tons of human-made trash enter the water, posing health and safety hazards to the animals that call the sea their home. Marine debris is a blatant violation of the fundamental Jewish ethical principle Bal Tashchit. Repair the Sea adds a modern ritual to the Jewish tradition: a local clean-up on the Sunday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Also known as Reverse Tashlich.
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 vegan snacks to share!
