The Religious School
The School at Temple Beth Am strives to meet the challenge of creating literate youths with positive identities as Reform Jews. Our program is seeing continuous improvement and our students are involved in the learning process in such a way that one can feel their "ruach" (spirit) and joy in the hallways.
 
 
CONFIRMATION
Confirmation is an opportunity for young people to enhance their Jewish learning experience beyond Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Our 10th graders study with Cantor Schechtman in a class called Confirmation. Through the study and practice of Jewish ethics and values, confirmands affirm their commitment to the Jewish people.

Additionally, the highlight of the Confirmation year is the trip to Washington, DC. There, they take part in a program called L'Taken. The Bernard and Audre Rapoport L'Taken Social Justice Seminar for High School Students is an intensive four-day study kallah in Washington, DC, focusing on Jewish values and social justice. Every year more than 100 congregations from across the U.S. participate in this exciting event. This unique Washington opportunity enables students to:
  • Learn from experts inside and outside the Jewish community
  • Covers several issue areas in a variety of interactive formats
  • Tour the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
  • Participate in a Havdalah service at the Jefferson Memorial
  • Sample the vibrancy of Georgetown and other exciting areas
On Shavuot, our annual Confirmation Service takes place. This service, which is put together and led by the confirmation class, is both beautiful and meaningful, whether you know anyone in the confirmation class or not. With robes and flowers, our confirmands process into the sanctuary and lead us in worship and music with great feeling. It is a joy to watch our young people as they grow from adorable consecrants just able to recite the Sh'ma, to confident, educated confirmands, conducting a worship service with grace and dignity.
 
 
We strongly urge all families to make
Temple Beth Am High School and Confirmation a priority.
Our Jewish future depends on it!
