In tenth grade, our students meet weekly with our rabbi. The sessions are geared towards increasing their Judaic knowledge, generating discussions, and helping them to see that Judaism is relevant to all aspects of life. Our rabbi tailors her curriculum to be responsive to her students from year to year. As part of the confirmation year, she invites students to her home to celebrate Sukkot and Hanukkah, invites special speakers, and involves the youth in other holiday celebrations at the synagogue. The confirmation service in the spring is a service created by the youth, led by them, and reflects their thoughts on Judaism and the world. Our confirmation service is accompanied by the voices of our adult choir, our Cantorial Soloist, and musically talented youth.
