Confirming One’s Commitment to Jewish Life

The Confirmation year is one of the most exciting years our students experience during their religious school years.  During the 10^th grade year, our students spend time learning with our rabbis.  Students discuss and debate sophisticated matters including: social justice, ethics, relationships and God/Theology.  The Confirmation ceremony takes place on a Shabbat evening close to the holiday of Shavuot. 

The highlight of the confirmation year is marked by a trip to the Religious Action Center in Washington D.C.  We participate in the L’takein (To heal) seminar and spend our weekend learning about Social justice issues facing our nation.  On Monday we go to Capitol Hill and lobby our senators and representatives.
