Tashlikh and Minẖa at Pomona Park
Thursday, 3 October, 2024 • 1 Tishrei 5785
5:00 PM - 6:00 PMPomona Park, ThornhillThe origins of this custom are uncertain; it does not appear in the Talmud and it seems to have begun in the Middle Ages. We call it Tashlikh, meaning “you shall cast”. As we cast our sins into the water, we look at the water and try to remember the creation of the world by God, our Creator. We think about God and ask forgiveness for the things we have done wrong. It is customary to go to a river where there are fish, for as fish are suddenly caught in a net, so are we caught in the net of divine judgement; and gazing at the water we contemplate Teshuvah. As we shake out our pockets, we symbolically transfer our wrongdoings to the fish! And as our crumbs feed the fish, we remember that just as a fish’s eyes are always open, so may the eye of God always be open for our benefit.
Hazzan Kovari will lead a SHOFAR – Minha and Tashlikh Service at 5:00PM at Pomona Park in Thornhill.
