High School Confirmation offers our ninth through 12th graders a path for building self-awareness and confidence, while connecting to the Jewish community and understanding communal responsibility.
  • Confirmation Steps meet once a month at various times from September through the Confirmation ceremony (June 2, 2012); either lunch or dinner is offered at each session. All Steps meet at the Marvin and Elisabeth Cassell Community House, One East 65th Street.

  • Students are expected to commit to this program and attend each Step of the journey. If for any reason that a student needs to miss a Step for an unavoidable conflict, then the student will work with the staff to make up the lesson.
