How we do Tashlich with Kids for the Jewish High Holidays (Little Kosher Lunch)

Of all the things we do during the Jewish High Holidays, Tashlich might be my favorite!

Tashlich is a ritual we perform in the Jewish New Year following Rosh Hashanah morning services (or technically can be performed until Sukkot). It's a way of symbolically casting off our sins (in the form of bread crusts or crumbs) by throwing them into moving water such as a stream, river or the ocean.

Now that I'm familiar with the tradition, it's one that we look forward to every year with our children. It is both a vivid explanation of our repentance and "self-work" during the high holidays as well as a chance to bond with our Jewish community in the outdoors on what is usually a beautiful California day.
