5th Annual Reverse Tashlich
This event is appropriate for people of all ages, and will include group clean up activities facilitated by community members who have been involved in the Barge Canal area management.
About Reverse Tashlich: This program is a recent add-on to the Jewish traditional Tashlich, an annual ritual in which some jewish people throw crumbs of bread into a body of water during the Rosh Hashanah holiday. The physical act of tossing crumbs is metaphor for the mental process of seeking to toss away bad habits and improve ourselves in the coming year.
Burlington’s ‘Reverse Tashlich’ began in 2022 when, we join 240+ other communities in this new traditional of cleaning up a body of water.

Tisha B’Av - The Revolt of Job Film Screening
This year, to commemorate Tisha B’Av, we will be holding a viewing of the beautiful, haunting Hungarian film set just before the Holcaust: The Revolt of Job.
