As part of the Rosh Hashanah observance, many individuals and synagogue groups participate in the tashlich ritual. Here, shul members gathered at bodies of flowing water and, with bread in hand as symbols of misdeeds over the past year, tossed their sins into the water, beginning the new year afresh. Whether it’s two friends at an inlet or a group at Southold Bay, the ceremony is fun and uplifting.      Photos by SMBloom, right, and JRakhman.

The seating was arranged, the flowers were in place, the Torahs were safely in the Ark. Rabbi Gadi and Cantor Phil provided the spirituality to a full house of worshippers. We built a Sukkah and decorated it, and thanks to Dave Berson and his glorious “Glory,” we motored out on the bay and enjoyed the sunshine.    Photos by the participants
