SUMMARY:Tashlich Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Tashlich is a traditional Jewish ceremony that takes place on the afternoon of Rosh Hashanah to symbolically cast off the negativity of the previous year. The word Tashlich translates to “casting off.” The ceremony is traditionally performed by throwing breadcrumbs or pebbles into a flowing body of water\, such as a river\, lake\, or ocean. \nWe will meet at the Charles River right behind the Watch Factory Lofts\, 185 Crescent Street\, Waltham\, MA. (There is a public parking lot across the street.). We will sing a traditional song\, have private time for reflection\, individually toss our “sins” into the water\, and then regather together for sharing and a traditional round challah with honey to wish each other a sweet year. \nYou don’t need to be from a Jewish background to join. All are welcome\, including children. Instead of breadcrumbs\, please bring a small bag of 10 – 20 nature-friendly elements like small stones\, leaves\, pine needles\, untreated wood chips\, seashells\, or twigs. \nPlease sign up HERE to let Rev. Debra know how many to expect.

SUMMARY:Worship Service: Wheel of Life
DESCRIPTION:Lay Ministry\nThis Sunday your lay ministers will offer our annual Wheel of Life service. This service is where we recognize our collective transitions of the past year – growing our families through births and adoptions; moving on in our lives through graduations\, new jobs\, retirements\, and geographic relocations; coming into our own truer selves through transgendering; deepening our relationships by joining in marriage; acknowledging the changes in ourselves and relationships through separation and divorce; and remembering those loved ones we have lost through death. Please join us either in person or on Zoom. \n\n\nIf you would like to have one or more life event shared in the order of service at this service\, please complete this form by Oct 20. Answer only the questions relevant to you. If it is not apparent\, please make sure to include how the person is related to you. We may alter or edit the formatting to increase consistency within the order of service. If you prefer to email your events\, you can send them to Ellen Metzger. FILL OUT IN GOOGLE FORMS\nWe want to include poetry that seems meaningful and appropriate\, especially poetry written by members of the congregation. In this context\, we are focusing on inter-generational listening\, what we have heard and learned both from our elders and those younger than us\, whether easy or challenging to hear. If you have poetry you’d be willing to share for this purpose\, please contact Nancy Mattei.
