Synagogue Visit, March 14

Each year the Confirmation students visit a place of worship in our Community.  Last year we went to First Baptist Church in Kennett. Two years ago we went to a Mosque in Chester County.  This year the students asked if we could visit a synagogue and attend their Shabbat services.   These services take place either Friday night or Saturday morning.  Last evening during class the students voted to attend a Friday service.  

We will be going on Friday, March 14th to Temple Beth El, located at 301 Possum Park Rd., Newark, DE 19711.  The service will begin at 7:30 and should be over at about 8:45. It will include fellowship over dessert, called an oneg.  Rabbi Michael is thrilled that we will be visiting them.  

The drive will take around 35 minutes and we will offer transportation to and from Saint Michael parking lot.  We should plan to leave at 6:45 and we should arrive back at SMLC at 9:30. Please note that your Confirmation Calendars had a Church Visit scheduled for Sunday, March 16th but it will now occur on the 14th.  We will not have a class on Sunday evening that weekend. 

You only need to let us know if you are not able to attend, this will allow us to properly plan the number of vehicles and drivers needed.   Also parents are welcome and encouraged to join us.   We look forward to an evening of learning and growth.
