Confirmation
10th graders are invited to participate in our Confirmation program which involves Torah, Avodah and G’milut Chasadim. Confirmands study with our Rabbi monthly, mentor younger children and participate in community service projects together. Depending on interest, the year may include a trip to another Jewish Community and we will celebrate a Confirmation ceremony.
Leadership
Our religious school program allows teens in grades 9-12 to gain leadership experience and skills working with children one-on-one, in a classroom setting, and with special school projects as an aid in the TAS Religious School. Teens make a commitment for the year and are matched up with a particular class to assist the teacher in class projects and day-to-day activities.
