Confirmation is our post B’nei Mitzvah educational program at CBS designed for 8th, 9th and 10th graders. Meeting two evenings a month, Confirmation begins with a casual pizza dinner, allowing time for the teens to schmooze, catch-up and just ‘hang out’ at the Temple. Guest lecturers and facilitators guide the teens through discussion and topics of interest that they have chosen to study that year. Tenth graders spend time during the year studying with Rabbi Lefkowitz in preparation for their Confirmation ceremony in the spring. They develop their own service, lead it and share their own thoughts about their Jewish identity, their Jewish journey and meaningful Jewish concepts. Confirmation allows our teens to develop their own Jewish identities and strengthen their bonds with Jewish friends – all while having fun!
