Description

Tachlikh

(Collection "The Annotated Ritual")

For centuries, on Rosh Hashanah, Jews around the world have gathered near a body of water and recited the Tashlich, imploring God's mercy as the new year begins with the Days of Awe. The heart of the Tashlich prayer is comprised of three verses from Micah, which ask the merciful God to cast the sins of Israel into the depths of the sea. This text evokes Satan's futile attempts to dissuade Abraham from sacrificing his son Isaac, if necessary. It reminds Israel of the purpose of creation and our dependence on its Creator.
