Mayan Hashiloach A Popular Tashlich Site
Mayan Hashiloach – otherwise known as the Silwan Pool – is a popular place for many Jerusalemites to perform the custom of Tashlich on Rosh Hashanah. It is here that the waters of the Gichon enter through a passage in a mountain.
Many legends surround this body of water, regarding its source and its final destination.
