Confirmation (10th Grade)
Our Confirmation course is an interactive, discussion based exploration of Jewish identity for 10th-12th graders. Students work toward “defining the Judaism you want to be living” by looking deeply at stories and traditions that they may have learned at younger ages but are ready to take on in more adult ways now. The course meets monthly, on Sunday afternoons, for two-hour sessions that allow us to follow students’ interests and build relationships and community within our cohort. The class is led by Rabbi Battis, with other members of the clergy and education teams taking part over the course of the year. The course culminates with a service and celebration affirming students’ Jewish identity on the evening that begins Shavuot (Erev Shavuot) in the spring.
