Students from Temple Shalom of Aberdeen join us for a 3-year, elective program leading to Confirmation at the end of 10th grade. Our students study, socialize and travel together, preparing for lives as adult members of the Jewish community. We are proud of our teenagers' accomplishments and commitment, and we encourage every student to participate. Beyond confirmation, we offer a program for eleventh and twelfth graders which includes a wide variety of courses. A class in beginning Hebrew is also offered each year, and an intermediate Hebrew course is scheduled for the when there is sufficient interest.
Courses meet two evenings a month, and are open to non-members for a small charge.
We are proud of our Adult Education Program, which is one of the most active in the country. Both adults and children need more than services and school to strengthen and enjoy the Jewish ties that bind. We offer a full range of Youth Group, Sisterhood, and Men's Club activities, and a Seniors' Group. Our Sisterhood, as an affiliate of the Women of Reform Judaism, is part of a worldwide network of Reform Jewish women that creates and carries out programs for the contemporary Jewish woman. Our Men's Club sponsors holiday celebrations, social events, and athletic activities for its members and the congregation at large.
