Jack M. Rosoff Hebrew High School
innovative JewisH Learning for Teens
While retaining the name of our beloved Rabbi Emeritus, Jack M. Rosoff, we have created a new identity for our Hebrew High School.
ALEINU
Like the name of our lower school, SHMA, ALEINU is a well known prayer and also a call to action. At the end of every Service, we rise to proclaim:
Aleinu l'shabeyach ...

Confirmation provides the opportunity for 10th Grade students to state before, the entire Congregation, the beliefs that they acquired over their ten+ years of Jewish education.
It is a Service/Ceremony that brings together the Congregation and the Confirmation Class to celebrate an entire lifetime of Jewish education.
After much thought and discussion, it has been decided that the efforts and learning for this year's Confirmation Class should focus solely on this goal.
Therefore, the class will now meet three times over the course of the year to join Rabbi Sagal and explore each individual's Jewish Beliefs.
The meeting times are yet to be determined, but one of them will bring students together in the Rabbi's home to carry on this conversation.
The Confirmation Service/Ceremony will take place at Shabbat Services on Friday, May 30, followed by a celebratory dinner.
Watch for an announcement with the new schedule.
