Ultra-orthodox Israelis pray during the Tashlich ritual
Ultra-orthodox Israelis observe Tashlich, an ancient Jewish ritual performed on Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, by the Mediterranean Sea in Tel Aviv, September 20, 2009. Observant Jews go to a natural source of flowing water and cast pieces of bread into the water to symbolize the casting off of their sins from the previous year. UPI/Debbie Hill
