“He will take us back in love; He will cover up our iniquities. You will cast all their sins Near springs of water, Kings of Israel were crowned. into the depths of the sea.”
Traditionally, on Rosh Hashanah, we participate in an ancient ritual of Tashlich, where we
cast off our sins into a body of water. It is the tangible act of shaking off our transgressions.
Water is a universal symbol for purification. At this time of the New Year, we are cleansing our hearts
and minds, bodies and souls, as we go through the process of Teshuvah. Water is also a symbol
of the creation of the world and of all life. Near springs of water, Kings of Israel were crowned.
The prophets Ezekiel and Daniel received revelation near a body of water as well.
In this visual expression, a strong, black line moves through the water to represent the casting off.
It is intertwined with fringe to allude to the tzitzit of a tallit katan that are shaken during the ritual.
In this painting, the Hebrew word Tashlich is shown in the upper right corner. Each letter is part of an incomplete circle. A fish is hidden in the word to reference using a body of water
with fish.
A complete circle rests at the bottom to exemplify not only the completion of this ritual but,
its integral role in the completion of our process of repentance during the High Holy Days.
