Shofar

Traditional Foods and Recipes

On the first day of Rosh Hashana (or the 2nd day when the first day of Rosh Hashana is on Shabbos), following the afternoon prayer, we visit a body of water or pond containing live fish and recite the Tashlich prayers, in which we "cast away" our sins.

As fish depend upon water, so do we depend upon G-d's providence. Also, a fish's eyes never close, symbolizing G-d's unceasing watchfulness over us.
