Cast My Sins Into The Depths Of The Sea (Tashlich)
There is the practice of Tashlich, a deeply symbolic ceremony that resonates with believers of all backgrounds. As the sun sets and the day comes to an end, many Jewish people flock to rivers and streams, emptying their pockets or throwing pieces of bread into the water. This simple yet powerful act serves as a physical embodiment of letting go, a casting away of sins and burdens. For Christians, it’s hard not to think of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, the Messiah, who makes it possible to truly cast our sins ”as far as the east is from the west.”
