Hallelujah. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the sky, His stronghold. Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him for His exceeding greatness. Praise Him with blasts of the horn; praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dance; praise Him with lute and pipe. Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with loud-clashing cymbals. Let all that breathes praise the LORD. Hallelujah.
Clue #6 Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, traditionally in the afternoon of the first day of Rosh Hashanah, the Tashlich (Casting off) ceremony takes place. It is customary to go to a body of water, preferably one which contains fish, and symbolically cast off one’s sins. The text of the ceremony includes the source of the ritual which comes from the book of Micah. Find Taskhlich in the Machzor. The opening verses come from the prophet Micah. Find the text in the resource panel and click it open. The final sheet is connected to Micah's words.
