Event Details

Description

Please join us on Sunday, September, 29, 9:00 for a family friendly, morning program on the MBJCC Sol Stern Dock as we use the kayaks and canoes of the Mariner Program to help keep the Indian Creek Waterway clean from plastic and other debris, in a pre-High Holiday - Reverse Tashlich! We will help the environment and help keep the intercostal behind the JCC!
This is a program of the Tikkun HaYam - Repair the Sea organization which organizes Reverse Tashlich programs all over the world. Volunteers from the climate and environmental organization VolunteerCleanUp.org. Volunteer Clean Up organization is focused building a grassroots movement against marine debris by helping facilitate educational shoreline, waterway and neighborhood cleanups.
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!
Important Reminders for Volunteers:
FOOD/DRINK: Please bring water in your own reusable water bottles. We will have coolers for cold water refills but do not provide plastic disposable bottled water. Light refreshments will also be provided
ATTIRE: Dress for a hot day of being in the water on paddle craft. Hat and sunglasses are also recommended for a hot and sunny day.
COVID and FLU SAFETY: This will be a socially distanced activity. As a courtesy to others, if you are feeling unwell in any way on the morning of the event, or have had a recent exposure in the days leading up to the cleanup, please stay at home.
Download the Marine Debris Tracker to participate in the Citizen Science Data Logging.
WAIVERS: Volunteers must check-in and sign waivers before you start.
