Bread Upon the Waters

On Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year), we have a service called Taslisch (throwing) where we symbolically cast our sins away by throwing bread into the water.

Some people have asked what they are supposed to throw into the water. Here are suggestions:

For ordinary sins, use -- White Bread For exotic sins -- French or Italian bread For dark sins -- Pumpernickle For complex sins -- Multi-grain For truly warped sins -- Pretzels For sins of indecision -- Waffles For sins commited in haste -- Matzah For substance abuse -- Poppy Seed For commiting arson -- Toast For being ill-tempered -- Sourdough For silliness -- Nut bread For not giving full value -- Short bread For political chauvinism -- Yankee Doodles For excessive use of irony -- Rye Bread For continual bad jokes -- Corn Bread For hardening our hearts -- Jelly doughnuts
