| North Shore Seminar |
|
Post Confirmation students will continue their education in the North Shore seminar, which will meet on Tuesday evenings at 6:15-7:45 PM. If you thought Confirmation was the end of Jewish Education- think again. Judaism is a life long learning project. And the good news is – it gets better as you get older. After Confirmation students have a better idea about what they like, what they don’t like, and what they might like to learn next. We are here to help them chart your course through this next phase of their Jewish life. North Shore Congregation Israel Goodman Center for Jewish Education, in conjunction with the Youth Group (TYG), offers a unique opportunity for teens to teach and learn from their peers in a relaxed informal setting. A seminar graduate from last year’s class describes North Shore Seminar as: “A fun relaxed environment in which to talk about current issues in a Jewish way, and Jewish issues in a current way.” During Seminar students will explore topical Jewish issues of their choosing, including: the elections, Israel, sexuality, ethical choices, political issues, cultural events, and more. In addition, we plan to take advantage of any opportunities that come our way during the year. In the past few years we have met with famous authors, gone to the movies, and hosted other special events. The best part is, the teens choose the topics. They meet once a month over dinner, hang out for a while, then get into a great conversation, guided by their questions along with the help of Rabbi Spicehandler and Neil Rigler. Seminar is for juniors and seniors only. There is a $145 fee for this program, which includes all the dinners. If you have more questions or thoughts to share contact Neil at neilrigler@aol.com.
