Calling All Members and Guests!

Please join us at the Miami Beach JCC on Sunday, September, 28, 9:00 AM for a Reverse Tashlich - family friendly mitzvah event to clean our waterways!
We will use the kayaks and canoes of the Mariner Program to clean the MBJCC backyard - the Indian Creek Waterway from plastic and other debris! Community Service Hours will be given!

Lifeguards will be on duty!
Volunteers from the climate and environmental organization VolunteerCleanUp.org. Volunteer Clean Up organization will help out. This organization is focused building a grassroots movement against marine debris by helping facilitate educational shoreline, waterway and neighborhood cleanups.
This is a program of the Tikkun HaYam - Repair the Sea organization which organizes Reverse Tashlich programs all over the world.
Bring your children and grandchildren! Lifeguards will be on duty.
A donation of $18 per person is requested (children under 12 are free). MB JCC Lifeguards will be present. Refreshments will be served! (This is a plastic free event - please bring reusable water bottles. We will have water for refills.) Community Service hours are available.
A portion of the proceeds support the MBJC Mariners program and our co-sponsor for the day, VolunteerCleanUp.org, a non-profit dedicated to sponsoring a grassroots movement for clean beaches, shorelines and waterways. They will be on hand to assist with nets, grabbers, buckets and other equipment.
What is a Reverse Tashlich?
Sponsored by the Jewish organization Tikkun HaYam-Repair the Sea, the Reverse Tashlich program, conducted worldwide, reimagines the High Holiday Tashlich ceremony of symbolically casting away sins into water. The symbolism is reversed: participants come together to clean up waterways that impact our lives, fostering a spiritual connection to and stewardship for the environment.
See you then!
