Tossing Our Sins
Before the new year can begin,
You have to throw out every sin;
So with a rock or piece of bread,
You toss them quickly overhead
Into a river or a lake,
Where they’ll be gone, for symbol’s sake.
The brand-new year will start and then
Your sinning can begin again!
*a tradition on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year
