You can do either, but you usually do neither. The best way is to throw a new exception for your situation and add the caught exception as an inner exception. Because rethrowing resets the stack trace, removing the context from an exception message that is often pretty vague, and "bouncing" with throw; doesn't tell the next exception handler that you already handled (part of) the exception.
