NoVA Tashlich; GatherNoVA and Rodef 2100

Join friends at GatherDC & Rodef 2100 for this special Rosh Hashanah ritual!

We'll be gathering together for tashlich (i.e. casting away), a cathartic tradition for the Jewish New Year in which we toss pieces of old bread (or pebbles, leaves, sticks, etc.) into a body of water to symbolically cast away regrets and disappointments from the past year.

GatherDC & Rodef 2100 will provide the materials - just bring yourself! We look forward to coming together for this special tradition.

When: Tuesday, October 8th from 5:45pm-7pm

Where: An accessible waterfront location in Falls Church. The exact location will be shared with attendees.

What to expect: Join other Jewish 20s & 30s for ritual, reflection, and meaning-making as we head into the new year.

Cost: free!

Got questions? Contact Rebecca Borovsky, Rodef 2100 President, at rodef2100@templerodefshalom.org or Melanie Schaeffer, GatherDC's Community Manager, at melanies@gatherdc.org.

We'd love to see you there!
