All ages and abilities are invited to participate in Reverse Tashlich in partnership with Repair The Sea on Sunday, September 28th from 11:00am-1:00pm.
In the ritual of Tashlich on Rosh HaShanah, we go to a body of water and symbolically cast our "sins" into the water to begin the New Year with a clean heart. With Reverse Tashlich, we’re turning symbolism into action by removing human "sin" from the water.
Reverse Tashlich provides an opportunity to come together and engage in a hands-on effort to clean up our beaches, rivers, and shorelines, removing the plastic, trash, and other debris that threaten marine ecosystems. Come as an individual, a family or a group to fulfill the Mitzvah of Bal Tashchit, the prohibition against needless waste and destruction. By removing the waste we have allowed to accumulate, we can protect marine life and the very ecosystems that are essential for life on Earth to survive, while also fulfilling a Mitzvah.
Everything needed for cleanup will be provided, including snacks and water!
Transportation is available between the JEA and Tybee on a limited basis.
