SUMMARY:Maryland Tashlich with GatherDC
DESCRIPTION:Welcoming a new Jewish year can stir up a range of emotions – from thank goodness to oh my goodness. You might find yourself wondering: How does it feel to say goodbye to the year that came before? What does it mean to start a year afresh? What can I toss\, and what can I keep? \nTashlich (“casting off”) is\, at its core\, an act of catharsis – a Jewish ritual in which we toss pieces of bread\, pebbles\, leaves\, or sticks into a body of water to symbolically cast away regrets or disappointments from the past year. This year\, GatherDC is hosting three tashlich gatherings across DC\, Maryland\, and Virginia with our community partners – and we would love to see you there!  \nYou are welcome to attend one or more Tashlich – just please register in advance so we can send you the exact location. We’ll provide everything you need for this ritual – just bring a reflective mind and open heart!

SUMMARY:Preparing to Let Go: Creative Practice for the New Year with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:What are you ready to stop carrying into the year ahead? \nJewish tradition gives us powerful physical rituals for the inner work of the High Holy Days: casting away through Tashlich\, immersing in the waters of the mikvah\, fasting\, and other practices that invite us to mark change not only in our minds\, but with our bodies. Drawing inspiration from these traditions\, we’ll explore what it can mean to intentionally let go. \nJoin Rabbi Anna for a creative and experiential evening of reflection\, release\, and renewal. This gathering takes place during the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah\, the Ten Days of Repentance\, a sacred stretch of time that begins with Rosh Hashanah and leads us toward Yom Kippur. These days invite us to turn inward\, take stock\, and consider what we are ready to change\, release\, and carry forward. \nThrough writing\, drawing\, personal reflection\, and small-group conversation\, we’ll consider the stories\, expectations\, habits\, and narratives we may be ready to release. We’ll close with a shared ritual moment\, giving physical expression to the inner work of making room for what comes next. \nThere is nothing you need to create perfectly\, solve\, or arrive already knowing. Come as you are\, with whatever you are ready to examine\, and perhaps whatever you are finally ready to put down. \nThis gathering will take place outdoors in Northwest DC. The specific location and additional details will be shared with participants after the registration deadline.  \nSign Up by Sep 11 \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: The Den Collective \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Tashlich with GatherDC and Sixth & I
DESCRIPTION:Welcoming a new Jewish year can stir up a range of emotions – from thank goodness to oh my goodness. You might find yourself wondering: How does it feel to say goodbye to the year that came before? What does it mean to start a year afresh? What can I toss\, and what can I keep? \nTashlich (“casting off”) is\, at its core\, an act of catharsis – a Jewish ritual in which we toss pieces of bread\, pebbles\, leaves\, or sticks into a body of water to symbolically cast away regrets or disappointments from the past year. This year\, GatherDC is hosting three tashlich gatherings across DC\, Maryland\, and Virginia with our community partners – and we would love to see you there!  \nYou are welcome to attend one or more Tashlich – just please register in advance so we can send you the exact location. We’ll provide everything you need for this ritual – just bring a reflective mind and open heart!
