I was just discussing this with my daughter.

How will we do tashlich this year? What do you all do when you're far from water? I've always lived a mile or less from a body of water so never had an issue before.

Where do you go for tashlich?

Mikva!

You stand outside the building. Or, if there's a keilim mikva, you can open it up and actually see some water.

I have not done tashlich on rosh hashana since I have been living in israel.

I have gone to the beach a few times after RH and done it then. if you have no water to go to then you have no water to go to.

before I got married, I went to friends for RH and the neighbors had a lovely pond that even had lovely big goldfish inside just for tashlich Smile

Why not fleishig? Just curious.

DH once saw signs for Tashlich pointing to a shul...He went in and asked and someone pointed to a shelf of the bookcase - where there was a jar filled with water and a single goldfish...

When I was in seminary, my hosts (and their shul!) said Tashlich by an empty swimming pool!

I do that too.

The men here go to an old well that no longer functions.

Many chassidim go to the beach during aseres yemei teshuva (I think they say it on YT too).

the belzers say it in the courtyard of the belzer shul - they have a well there. It is amazing and beautiful to watch.

In Bayit Vegan, where I grew up and where I now go for Rosh Hashana, there is a water thingie (forgot what you call it) at the end of REchov Hapisgah. To tell you the truth I never get out anyomore on the first day of RH. I usually wind up doing it at the last minute, on Hoshana Raba in front of the sink! (My great grandmother used to do it that way)

Dh doesn't hold doing it by the sink, mikvah, etc. Either we go to Netanya to the beach (because we were going to see the IL anyway), or he goes to the springs by the old city or another water source sometime before YK.

Keilim mikvah usually. And every year I pray very hard that they'll clean out all those crumbs before I go to tovel my new Pesach dishes!

We don't do it anymore since we live here.

It's not minhag eretz Yisroel. It came from Europe where there was always a river running through the town.

The Gra was against it (maasah Rav 202).

before modern plumbing, where did cities like jerusalem get their water from? there must be some water sources in such a big city.
