Join us and OZ for community waterway cleanup at Burlington’s Barge Canal.

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 a 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 tradition of cleaning up a body of water. Read more about the movement here.
