Tashlikh
Tashlikh (Hebrew, meaning "casting off") is a long-standing practice on Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish new year according to the Hebrew calendar) to go to a large, natural body of flowing water (such as a river, lake, sea or ocean) and throw some bread, or a similar food item, into the water, symbolically casting off the sins of the previous year.
