This ritual enables you to symbolically cast off your sins from the prior year. Here is how you can do the ritual:
1) Recite this prayer from Micah 7:18-20:
"Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of His inheritance? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. You will show faithfulness to Jacob and steadfast love to Abraham, as You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old."
2) While praying, symbolically throw pieces of bread or pebbles into the water. Each item thrown represents one of your sins.
