The first day (of two) of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, begins tonight at sundown. In this picture, taken in 1945, a group of faithful assembles at the East River and the foot of Grand Street. They are following the ancient taschlich custom of casting bread (representing the sins of the previous year) on the water and starting life afresh with coming of the New Year.
