Trivia fact for Thursday, Sept. 9: Why do some Jews empty their pockets and toss the contents into a river or stream on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the Jewish New Year? It's a ritual known as tashlikh, which means "casting off" in Hebrew. Done while reciting prayers, it symbolizes the tossing away and washing away of sins.
