Love Your
Neighbor by Feeding the
Hungry
On Kol Nidre, Sunday evening,
September 27, we will hold our annual
campaign for local people in need of
food. Between Rosh Hashanah and Kol
Nidre, bring canned goods and tzedakah
funds to the front lobby. There will be
boxes for the canned goods and a place
to put your tzedakah. With the rising cost
of food, now more than ever, hungry
people need your support.
Tashlikh at the Lackawanna
The custom of tashlikh is derived from
the verse in Micah 7:19: He will take us
back in love; He will cover up our iniquities;
you will hurl all our sins into the
depths of the sea. The usual manner of
performing tashlikh is the throwing of
breadcrumbs into flowing water expressing
in a symbolic manner the casting
away of our sins. This year, why not make
it something more The area is beautiful
for a picnic – take your family early
and relax. As you think of your “sins,” why
not bring something appropriate to give
away. Do you eat too many sweets
Bring candy to give to the hungry. Do you
talk on the phone too much Bring old
cell phones to be given to women so they
can call 911 in an emergency.
This year our tashlikh ceremony will be
held 6:00 p.m. Sunday, September 20 –
the second day of Rosh Hashanah by
the Lackawanna River in the Iron Furnaces
Park. Bring some bread crumbs
to throw in the water and something special
to “throw away.” We hope that everyone
will come to participate. Our Sisterhood
will provide special treats for the
young. Let us personally continue the
tashlikh tradition at the Lackawanna
River. Then come back to the synagogue
for minha/ma’ariv. See you there!
