Rosh Hashanah Tidbits

Monday, September 19, 2005 by Ken Rutherford 1 Comment

On Rosh Hashanah, there is a ceremony called Tashlich. Jews traditionally go to a body of water such as the ocean, a stream or a river to pray and throw in breadcrumbs. This symbolizes throwing away one’s sins which the fish devour. Occasionally, people ask what kinds of breadcrumbs should be thrown. Here are suggestions for breads which may be most appropriate for specific sins and misbehaviors:

For ordinary sins – White Bread

For cowardly sins – French Bread

For particularly dark sins – Pumpernickel

For polygamy – Multi grain

For sins of indecision – Waffles

For sins committed in haste – Matzos

For sins of chutzpah – Any fresh bread

For substance abuse – Stoned wheat

For committing auto theft – Caraway

For timidity – Milk toast

For ill-temperedness – Sourdough

For silliness, eccentricity – Nut bread

For excessive irony – Rye bread

For unnecessary chances – Hero bread

For war-mongering – Kaiser rolls

For dressing immodestly – Tarts

For racist attitudes – Crackers

For being holier than thou – Bagels

For overeating – Stuffing

For indecent photography – Cheesecake

For raising your voice too often – Hallah

For pride and egotism – Puff pastry

For sycophancy – Brownies

For being overly smothering – Angel food cake

For trashing the environment – Dumplings

For telling bad jokes/puns – Corn bread

For laziness – Potato rolls

    Me oh my Ken! An extra large helping of corn bread for you my brother. My wife would be most impressed as she is the queen of corn. You are without question the king.

    Speaking of corn….

    You are a true commodian; life of the potty. ;^
