side garage door will be open. It's blocked off for the most part by tables

A Roshashana (Jewish New Year) Tashlik ceremony will take place at 5:30pm on
Saturday September 15th in the waters off of the
gazebo on the shoreline park just south of the Pier 96 boathouse. The
ceremony involves ritual Hebrew prayers and a casting of the year's sins
into the waters in the form of bread crumbs which will then be washed away
with the outgoing tide. Those who wish to participate via kayak must
arrive no later than 5pm to get kitted out in a boat. The ceremony will be
ecumenical and open to all DTBH volunteers and the general public.
