Confirmation Classes
Our Jewish education
is really just beginning with the conclusion of the B’nai Mitzvah year.
At this point, the student is aware of our place in the community at
large. It is the belief of our congregation that religious education
continues beyond Bar/Bat Mitzvah through the tenth grade/Confirmation
year. By continuing religious education, the Bar/Bat Mitzvah student
may prepare himself/herself for the significant ceremony of
Confirmation, which provides still another step in the spiritual growth
of the individual. The emphasis of Jewish education is upon learning
that leads to living Judaism, which provides the child with a Jewish
environment.
Students are now at
the level where they question everything, and answers need to be seen as
relevant to their lives. Deeper understanding of things they heretofore
took for granted because “the teachers said so,” now must be more
clearly explored and explained. It is in this spirit the process of
acquiring the knowledge of Judaism leads from enrollment in the
religious school, through Bar/Bat Mitzvah and Confirmation, to
participation in High school and Youth Group activities. |
