 Through Dorothy M. Cohn Fund
Through the generosity of the Dorothy M. Cohn Fund, TBK is able to augment its 10th Grade Confirmation curriculum to include innovative social justice learning opportunities. This year was no exception - culminating in a delegation trip to meet area migrant farm workers. It was an unforgettable day of learning about an invisible population right here in Rochester, and what we as Jews can do to help. Thanks to our terrific 2009 Confirmands for their participation, and we look forward to providing enriching experiences like these to our incoming 2010 Confirmation class.
