Are you in our 8 - 10th Grade Confirmation program? Do you wish you were?  Each year our students study Wednesday evenings with Rabbi Greenbaum and also enjoy special trips.

Preparation for Confirmation is a three-year process, Grades 8, 9 and 10.  The overall goals for each year will be accomplished through class studies and discussions, service attendance and participation in special trips.  The class meets approximately every other Wednesday night from 6:00 - 8:00 PM. 

Special aspects of this class include a dinner/social time at the start of each Wednesday night class and special trips to Big Sur when in the 8th grade, Los Angeles in the 9th grade and in the 10th grade a New York City exploration!  Unlike the previous years of Religious School, Confirmation requires the student to accept adult responsibilities.  Rabbi Bruce Greenbaum teaches the program.  Each class includes some insight into traditional and liberal Jewish approaches to the evening's topic as well as opportunities for each student to share their own perspective.  Each student will be encouraged to discovers their own individual yet personal connection to Judaism.
