UK - London - Stamford Hill Orthodox Jewish Community - Tashlikh

Tashlikh is a Jewish practice that is performed during Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year). Men and women gather near a large body of flowing water and symbolically 'cast off' the previous year's sins by throwing pieces of bread into the water while reading a prayer (the last verses from the prophet Micah). In Stamford Hill the nearest flowing water is river Lea, Hackney, London. (Photo by In Pictures Ltd./Corbis via Getty Images)
