Confirmation
The 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 Grade 10 study with Rabbi Goldwasser on Sunday mornings. A few times during the year, the class meets on an evening outside of the Temple – a service at a different synagogue, a visit to a museum, a meal at a kosher restaurant, or other ways of engaging with Jewish learning. The highlight of the year is a trip to Washington, D.C. to visit the Israeli Embassy, the U.S. Capital and other sites important to American Jews. On the festival of Shavuot, tenth grade students who successfully complete the Confirmation program will be confirmed during a festival service led by the class.
