Confirmation is more than just a ceremony, it is an opportunity to take a deeper and more mature look at Judaism. Our hope is that it will lead students to want to publicly confirm their commitment to Judaism. We have several unique experiences that will make Confirmation year powerful and memorable.

Confirmation class is taught by our clergy. These classes will unlock some of the values and ideas that have made Judaism powerful and influential and revered. Entrance into this class is achieved by completion of the two preceding years of study in pre-confirmation (grades 8-9). In addition, students must also have regular attendance at Sabbath services during the year.

During the fall, our Confirmation Kallah allows us to create magical moments that can only be created through shared experiences. Our kallah is a time for confirmands to develop friendships and feelings of Jewish faith and identity. We celebrate Shabbat together and elect our class officers. Attendance at the kallah is mandatory in order to be confirmed at Congregation Beth Emeth.

Our Confirmation Service takes place on the festival of Shavuot where our young men and women publicly take their place among the adult Jewish community. They affirm their loyalty to God, Torah, and the responsibilities to the Jewish community. It is more than a celebration; it is a moment of transformation.
