Join the Little Minyan for our minhag/custom of meeting "down by the riverside" to cast our misdeeds into the Scioto and reaim our focus for the upcoming year.  After our environmentally-focused tashlich service, we will enjoy games, music, food and community, celebrating 5770.  Participants should bring a dish to share, your own dishes, drinks, cups, and cutlery.  You may also wish to bring lawn chairs or blanket, musical instruments and/or sports equipment.  Please also consider extending the evening this year to participate in a brief shofar service.

Join us for a morning of joyful, creative and interactive worship and Torah as, on this first day of the New Year - 5770 - we reexamine B'reshit - the biblical account of the first days.  If you are not a member of the Little Minyan, please let us know of your intention to join us for the new year, so that we can plan accordingly.  L'Shanah Tova!  Location: Covenant Presbyterian Church, 2070 Ridgecliff Road, Upper Arlington, 43221.
