Experience the themes of Rosh Hashanah come to life as you hike through the Mianus River Gorge. Along the hike we will pause for moments of reflection, discussion, prayer, and song. At the summit of the hike we will have a short interactive shofar service. The hike will finish with a Tashlich experience alongside the river. This is the opportunity to “take stock” and reflect on how we may have “missed the mark” this past year and to “cast away” what we want to leave behind in 5780.

Hike will be led by Amanda Weiss (Rabbinic Intern), Liz Marlowe (Religious School Director), and Jessica Herrmann (Director of Experiential Education). Please wear a mask, closed toed shoes, bring a bottle of water, a snack, and a shofar if you have one. We will meet in the parking lot at the Mianus River Gorge.
