Is this scripturally backed?
I would like to have a reference in the Holy Book where it is commanded that we should perform this action.

Taslich
I am 74 years old & recall as a child my parents teaching me about the casting off of sins at Rosh Hashanah... not until reading this have I had an understanding of the ritual... and I like it... I truly love being Jewish & the oneness it brings me with God.
