For the first time, Beth Israel is offering Post Confirmation to 10th-12th graders. This program will meet once a month in the Rabbi’s study, where students will discuss contemporary Jewish issues such as the Israel-Palestinian situation; Anti-Semitism on college campuses and other burning Jewish topics. This program meets at 7 p.m. Wednesday evenings throughout the year. A light dinner is provided.
Post-Confirmation
Our Religious School will have a Post-Confirmation class for our 10th through 12th graders beginning in September 2013. This class is an exciting mix of seminar-style classes, mitzvah projects, and cultural opportunities. This program aims to integrate the many ways our teens are involved in Jewish life to build and sustain a true community among this age group.
Rabbi Samuels will meet with the students seven times throughout the year and will lead the class through these activities:
В· Discussions on current Jewish/Israel news
В· Informal Hand-On Education
В· Exploration of God and Spirituality
В· Jewish Values and Text Presented with Practical Applications
В· Building Teen Community within our Congregation
В· Building Teen Community with other Reform Jewish teens
В· Experiential Learning through Hands-On Projects
The class will meet on selected Wednesdays from 6-7:30.
For further information about the class please contact Rabbi Samuels at 360-733-8890.
