Confirmation 5771

Finding Happiness and Fulfillment as a Jewish Adult

Rabbi Nachman of Bratzlav said: It is a great mitzvah to be joyful!

Welcome to Confirmation!

This year our class will explore how to live a life of joy and meaning in today’s complicated world. Enriched by Jewish tradition and supported by a strong community, we’ll engage in active learning, including text study, debate and discussion, guest speakers, drama, music and film.

Here are some of the issues we’ll examine through a Jewish lens:

  • Building and strengthening friendships; communication skills
  • Healthy and abusive relationships
  • Healthy sexuality
  • Addictive behaviors; managing stress and life challenges in positive ways
  • Difficult personal choices, including abortion
  • Finding a positive connection to Israel
  • Exploring personal spirituality

Here are some important dates to put on your calendar:
