Confirmation

Confirmation

PictureThe 2015 Confirmation Class helps build the Sukkah.
Students in Temple Sinai's Confirmation program deepen their Jewish knowledge and wrestle with issues of ethics, traditions, texts and theology. Student are challenged to apply Jewish values and teachings to their own lives in a way that will serve to shape a lifelong Jewish identity.

Students in grades 8 and 9 participate in a class that meets two Sunday mornings a month from 10:00 to 11:30 AM. The discussion-based course engages the students on the issues they face as young teens – social media, bullying, stress, drugs – and relates them to Jewish values and spiritual development.

Students in grade 10 study with Rabbi Goldwasser on two Sunday mornings a month from 9:30 to 10:30 AM. A few times during the year, the class goes on trips instead of meeting at the Temple. We attend a service at an Orthodox synagogue, go on a day-trip to Boston, meet with lawmakers at the State House, and have a meal at a kosher restaurant. The highlight of the year is a trip to Washington, D.C. to visit the U.S. Capital, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and other sites important to American Jews. On the festival of Shavuot, Confirmation students lead the festival service and talk about what they wish to confirm as Jewish adults.
