For those seeking to participate in the tashlich ritual and cast bread crumbs representing sins into the waters, there are a number of sites they can perform the task in the days leading up to Succot. In Jerusalem’s City of David the Shiloah Springs were the main water source for the mikvehs used by pilgrims on their way to make offerings at the Temple. Another alternative is a visit to Jaffa’s ancient port, where after walking one can sit at the water’s edge and perform the tashlich. In the Gush Etzion village of Bat Ayin one can reach the local spring by car or on foot, passing through scenic mountains and along twisting dirt paths. If you are seeking out a more urban location, Jerusalem’s Rose Garden near the Knesset has a Japanese rock garden complete with river where you can cast your crumbs to the hungry fish. The pond at Jerusalem's Bird Observatory not far from the Rose Garden near the Sacher Park is another serene spot where one can contemplate.
