A seminar style allows post B'nai Mitzvah students to engage in meaningful dialogue on subjects of particular interest to them. The 9th grade curriculum is a course on comparative religion. The history, beliefs and practices of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity are explored. Students will visit various Churches and Temples to enhance their appreciation of other's beliefs. This year provides the opportunity for in-depth study of a variety of Jewish subjects.
Students identify, research and present topics of their own interest.
The second half of the year, the class works together to create their personalized Confirmation service. Our Post-Confirmation students are given an opportunity to become teacher aides in the classroom. In addition to student teaching, there is a monthly study session with Rabbi Gutterman with a discussion of Jewish ethics and thought.
