Celebrate the second day of Rosh Hashanah at Ocean Beach for our Tashlich and Shofar Service. We will sing, reflect, and sound the shofar 100 times as we symbolically cast away the old year. Potluck dinner to follow at 5:00 pm. 

Join Or Shalom for the second day of Rosh Hashanah at the edge of the Pacific. Together we will:

• Tashlich & Shofar Service: Tashlich (literally “to cast off”) is a Rosh Hashanah ritual where we gather by living water to symbolically cast off all from the last year we do not want to carry with us, opening ourselves to renewal. We will visit the ocean in waves, interspersed with 100 blasts of the shofar, awakening our hearts and spirits for the year ahead. 

• Optional Ocean Mikvah: Step into the waves for a ritual cleansing, marking renewal as the New Year begins.

• Community Potluck: Share food and time together on the beach

Bring everything you need to feel comfortable for an evening at the shore — chairs, blankets, hoodies, dishware, food, and drinks to enjoy and share.

This gathering is free and open to all — members, friends, and neighbors.

We warmly welcome members, non-members, friends, and all who are curious to join us for the High Holy Days at Or Shalom.

This service is free and open to all—no ticket or registration needed.
