Some students in our Confirmation class prepare a tzedakah project for their New York City weekend trip.
Confirmation is a time for teenagers, primarily those in 10th grade, to explore Judaism and its values. The weekly classes provide a supportive, non-judgmental opportunity to reflect, with our clergy and fellow students, on what matters in Judaism and how best to express it as an individual and within our community. Classes are usually held on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm. Students in a class are confirmed together and prepare a tzedakah project as a group. This emphasizes the importance of communal action that is at the heart of Judaism.
A highlight of the year is a weekend trip to New York City. A combination of religious and social activities are enjoyed, with both of our rabbis accompanying the group.
The ceremony of Confirmation is held on Shavuot. Confirmands plan and lead the entire service. Our community comes out in force to support the commitment teens have made throughout the year.
Our Religious School works with our Clergy to organize our Confirmation program.
