russian riverTashlich is a popular ritual of the high holiday season where we symbolically cast our misdeeds from the past year into a body of free flowing water. Once again this year we are going to make a trip to the Russian river for Tashlich, followed by a picnic lunch. This is a fun and meaningful ritual, and the beautiful setting of the Russian river should make this a really great afternoon.

Already done tashlich this year? Then come along and join us for a picnic at the river.

RSVP to director@sonomahillel.org so we’re sure to have enough cars and food.  Let us know if you need a ride or if you can offer a ride.
