For centuries, traditional Jews have gone the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashanah to the nearest body of free-flowing water to recite several Psalms and a line from the prophet Micah: "And you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." And they have shaken out their pockets of lint and bread crumbs, symbolically shaking loose their sins of the past year that they could be swept downstream to the sea.
