B’nai Torah Volunteers Host Red Reef Park CleanUp As

Symbolic Act of High Holy Days Cleansing Tradition

B’nai Torah Congregation hosted its sixth annual “Reverse
Tashlich” on Sunday, September 10th, in collaboration with
Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. More than 110 volunteers,
ranging in age from six months to 86 years old, picked up
trash from Red Reef Park in Boca Raton.
B’nai Torah is one of 220 communities in 12 countries around
the world participating in this community clean-up initiative,
dubbed “Repair the Sea.” The Jewish High Holy Days started
on Friday, September 15th, at sunset. While the ancient Jewish
tradition of Tashlich involves casting one’s sins in water, Reverse
Taslich prioritizes tackling the modern, global issue of pollution.
In 2015, a group of students devised the idea of reversing
the process and removing human “sins”—or pollution and
litter—by cleaning the water and waterfront. Thus, Reverse
Tashlich was born.
