Your Own Personal Tashlich Moment - Pikuach nefesh, preservation of life, is the highest mitzvah. In order to keep everyone safe, we are asking that you observe Tashlich in safe, family pods and refrain from large gatherings. We offer a Soundcloud Tashlich service for you to use anytime during the 10 Days of Awe, at any body of water. Please do not congregate at Baker Beach on Rosh HaShanah Day.

"Our problems arise when we act out of fear - pachad - as Balak did, instead of being guided by a sense of awe or radical amazement as Herschel taught - realizing we exist surrounded by God’s presence. And when we do not guarantee freedom from fear of harm out of fears that are irrational or hateful we know we are not the America we need to be nor the Jews we need to be."
