Keeping It Sacred honors the value of keruv/open welcoming, and as such, offers all classes and holiday observances free of charge. Please join in this momentous celebration! Further background: Just over 200 years ago, the leaders of the new progressive movement of Judaism instituted the ceremony of Confirmation. As its name suggests, this ceremony was a ritual where a person would confirm their commitment to the study of Torah and engagement with community.

At first, only boys were confirmed on the weekend before their bar mitzvah, but by 1822 both boys and girls were confirmed in the Hamburg Temple in modern-day Germany. The Jewish Encyclopedia reminds us that by “1831, Rabbi Samuel Egers, one of the most prominent rabbis of his time and a man of unquestioned orthodoxy, began to confirm boys and girls regularly at the synagogue of Brunswick.”
