The internet posting for Temple Beth Torah’s (a Reform congregation in Ventura, California) confirmation class appears unremarkable:1 KABBALAT TORAH (CONFIRMATION) Kabbalat Torah will be taught by Rabbi Lisa. “Kabbalat Torah” means, “receiving the Torah,” which in turn means accepting the responsibility of living a life according to the teachings of Judaism. The curriculum, entitled “What Do I Believe?” will include topics such as personal ethics and choices, God, and Jewish observance, is designed to help the students clarify for themselves, with the guidance of the Rabbi, their personal beliefs within the context of Judaism
