Rosh Hashanah arrived this year on a warm summer night in September, followed by an even-warmer Monday when the shul’s ordinarily dependable air-conditioning system tested the mettle of our in-person attendees. The Tashlich ceremony, however, held at the water’s edge, was a welcome ritual under the late summer sun, attracting worshipfully-attired congregants and guests as well as those squeezing the last vestiges of summer from a September morn. Into the sea went our crumbs of bread, symbolically carrying away our sins and cleansing our souls as we welcomed 5782.
