This program is open to your child whenever they are able to attend.
CSBE Teen Hebrew High School / Confirmation Program - Grades 8 Through 12:
The goal of this amazing new program is to keep your teens, the precious jewels of Judaism, connected to both Torah and to Central Synagogue-Beth Emeth during these very critical times.
There are Four Pillars of this program:
- Continuing Jewish Education
- Community Service
- Leadership Training
- Fun Social Activities
This program will meet approximately twice per month, primarily on Tuesday Evenings, but sometimes on Thursday Evenings, from 6:00PM to 8:00PM and is open to all Jewish teens. Of course, delicious pizza and/or other tasty treats will be provided each week. The program will be led by Jeff Kelman, Religious School Director, in conjunction with our clergy, usually the Rabbi.
This program will culminate with a beautiful Confirmation Ceremony for our teens at the conclusion of their senior year in high school.
