Kesher Tashlich Picnic
Join us for a Tashlich picnic at Hidden Falls Park Picnic Shelter on the afternoon/evening of September 17th, the second day of Rosh HaShanah. Tashlich, from the Hebrew for “cast away,” is a physical symbol of our willingness to cast off behaviors and beliefs that are not in our true nature or best interests.
Come anytime between 5-7 PM. We’ll share a potluck dairy meal and have a chance to perform the ritual of Tashlich. It is a brief ceremony in which we “cast our sins upon the waters” that is usually done during the High Holiday period. Take time for quiet contemplation or join in with a group. Think about what no longer serves you and what you want to create in this fresh new year.

High Holy Day Children’s Programming
On the High Holy Days, Beth Jacob offers engaging, fun-filled learning and prayer experiences for children of all ages, including:
Prayer Options:
Family Service (Grade Pk-6th) in the chapel
Children and their grown-ups join together for an hour-long, song-filled, interactive service for Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur, exploring themes presented in the mahzor (The High Holy Day prayer book) to make 5784 a sweet new year! 9:30 on Rosh Hashanah; 10:30 Yom Kipur
Minyan Katan (tot services for ages 0-4) in room 7/8:
Our littlest ones and their grown-ups embody the sweetness of the season with song-filled prayers, movement, and meaningful stories.
Youth and Teen learning:
Youth Learning begins with the family service and then continues with age appropriate opportunities in the classrooms. Join our teachers and volunteers to learn about the respective holiday, and enjoy spending time with new and old friends in the congregation. Teen learning begins with the Teen Sicha (learning), after which teens have the opportunity to join as assistants in the Youth Learning classrooms or participate in the main service.
For Families With Children 4 & Under:
Childcare (with ample snacks) are available in the nursery during the main service. It will start each morning at the beginning of services and go until services are let out. Please register to let us know if your child is joining us for the High Holidays.
