Tashlich (תשליך) is a ritual that many Jews observe during the High Holidays.
"Tashlich" means "casting off" in Hebrew and involves symbolically
casting off the sins of the previous year by tossing pieces of bread or
another food into a body of flowing water. Just as the water carries
away the bits of bread, so too are sins symbolically carried away. In
this way the participant hopes to start the New Year with a clean slate.
The Awareness Center closed. We operated from April 30, 1999 - April 30, 2014. This site is being provided for educational & historical purposes. We were the international Jewish Coalition Against Sexual Abuse/Assault (JCASA); and were dedicated to ending sexual violence in Jewish communities globally. We did our best to operate as the make a wish foundation for Jewish survivors of sex crimes. In the past we offered a clearinghouse of information, resources, support and advocacy.
