Event Description
Looking for a spiritual and communal way to bring in the Jewish new year? Join The Neighborhood: An Urban Center for Jewish Life and Romemu Brooklyn on Bridgeview Lawn in Brooklyn Bridge Park on October 6 for Into the Water: Brooklyn Waterfront Meditation and Tashlich Ceremony. This gathering will feature meditations led by teacher Yael Shy and music and ritual with Cantor and musician Basya Schechter. Tashlich is an ancient ritual in which individuals or communities traditionally gather by a flowing body of water, and throw pieces of bread or pebbles into the stream to symbolically represent misdeeds, mis-alignments, and regrets from the past year. Into the Water is an embodied, open, and completely free opportunity to be present, thoughtful, and reflective at the most meaningful moment in the Jewish calendar. All are welcome – no Jewish or meditation background is necessary.
