Rosh Hashanah

This is a Rosh Hashanah service I covered a couple weeks ago at the Ventura Harbor put on by the Temple Beth Torah from Ventura.  They had a ceremony first by the beach which included the sounding of the shofar, or rams horn, the reading of the Torah, a ceremony for the blessing of the children and the tossing of bread into the ocean to symbolize the casting away of sins.
