Here's what past students had to say about the Confirmation trip:

• Go on this trip. It's FUN!
• The activities we did there really brought us closer together as a class. We bonded.
• It was AMAZING to go to Washington with my friends, and experience a whole new level of Judaism with them - especially when we visited the Holocaust Museum.
• Havadallah at the Lincoln Memorial is truly magical.
• Confirmation is fantastical!
• On the Confirmation trip, you learn more about yourself and truly grow and develop as an individual with close friends by your sides.

Coming Soon: A 2010 Video Tribute to the Confirmation Trip.
