The Firepit Minyan will meet on Thursday, Sept 9 for a Rosh Hashanah morning service, lunch, and Tashlich.
Prepare to spend all day (or not, as you choose) welcoming the New Year. Do we have plans for you…
Here’s the day at a glance:
Morning Service 10:30 – 12:15ish
Lunch at Casa de Luz 12:15 – 2:30ish
Tashlich at Barking Springs 3:00ish
Service Details:
We’re meeting upstairs in The Cielo Room, which will be easy to find. Just follow the signs and enthusiastic greeters who’ll point the way.
Lunch Details:
For those who want to eat, we’ll tromp down to the Casa de Luz restaurant. For only $12.00, you’ll nosh on soup, a side salad, and an entrée plate with grains, greens, veggies, beans, and pickled vegetables – all organic, vegan, and macrobiotic.
Before the service, if you want to eat at Casa de Luz, we’ll be collecting your money and handing out lunch tokens. This isn’t required, but it will make it easier for us to give the kitchen a head count and will help them serve us more quickly. No credit cards, though. We need checks and cash if you want to prepay. Which we encourage you to do. If you want Casa restaurant details, go to http://www.casadeluz.org/dining.htm.
Tashlich Details
After lunch, we can walk in small groups, or in a large group, or go by car, or bicycle, down to Barking Springs, meeting up around 3pm. You bring the bread and we’ll bring copies of the blessing. Then we’ll cast away and watch the fish (or more likely, dogs) eat our sins so we can start the year right. Barking Springs is beyond the eastern, downstream dam that forms Barton Springs pool. Just look for swimming dogs and their half naked owners.
Please RSVP as soon as possible at Meetup.
