May 2015 Iyar/Sivan 5775 Volume XLVI, No. 10 Like us on Facebook What a class! The young men and from the women listed below are spirited and Rabbi’s Desk knowledgeable and are among the best and brightest of their generation. On Friday evening, May 29th at 7:00 pm, they will lead us in prayer, song and verse, in honor of their Confirmation. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is teaching the tenth grade Confirmation class. The students’ emerging independence and their carefully formulated opinions and ideas make for stimulating and interesting discussions. Each one of these young adults is unique; they are all diligent students, among them are musicians and athletes. Each of them believes they can make a difference in the world, and after spending this year as their teacher, I know they are right. Join us on May 29th. I promise you will leave the synagogue as optimistic about the future of the Jewish people, knowing that it Robert S.Class Goldstein is in the hands of young people like our Rabbi Confirmation of 2015! Rabbi Robert S. Goldstein
