By popular demand, I am reposting: On Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year), there is a service called Tashlich (throwing) where sins are symbolically cast away by throwing bread onto the water. Some people have asked what kind of bread they are supposed to throw into the water. Here are suggestions: For ordinary sins, use -- White Bread For erotic sins -- French bread For exotic sins – Italian bread For dark sins -- Pumpernickel For complex sins -- Multi-grain For twisted or truly warped sins -- Pretzels For tasteless sins-- rice cakes For sins of indecision -- Waffles For sins committed in haste -- Matzoh For sins of chutzpah--fresh bread For substance abuse – stoned wheat For heavy drug abuse--Poppy Seed For committing arson -- Toast For committing auto theft--caraway For sins of timidity or cowardice--milk toast For sins of being holier than thou--bagels For sins against Christians—hot cross buns For sins of overeating--stuffing For being ill-tempered -- Sourdough For silliness or crazy behavior -- Nut bread For not giving full value -- Short bread For sins of war mongering--kaiser rolls For always dropping in without notice: popovers For sins of pride and egotism – puffed pastry For raising your voice too often--challah For political chauvinism -- Yankee Doodles For excessive use of irony -- Rye Bread For continual use of bad jokes -- Corn Bread For hardening our hearts -- Jelly doughnuts
