A Sunday School
Lesson
Br Sam S. Wolf *
The children of Clan 4A of
the Religious School stirred un-
comfortably as the dismissal
hour ^iproached. The bright,
warm sunshine outside the win-
dows had been competing too
sncceufully against the week’s
assignment
In an attempt to attract at-
tenlon, the teacher paused from
retelling the story of Solomon
and the Temple. Then he con-
tinued:
"After seven long years of
arduous toil, the beautiful
Temple was completed. At an
impressive ceremony, King Sol-
omon and all the people dedi-
' cated it to the service of God."
Little Joseph, sitting in the
last row, raised his hand:
"What has King Solomon’s ded-
ication to do with Shevuoth,
that we are celebrating now,”
he asked. •
All the children straightened
in their chairs, turned to Joseph
and then to the teacher with
apparently renewed interest.
*A good question,” remark-
ed the teacher. “Really there is
no connection between the two
events, but we can easily point
out a vital similarity between
them. On Shevuoth, the reaping
.of the first harvest in Palestine
was celebrated by dedicating
the finest part of the crop to
the Lord. It is also celebrated
because tradition relates that
Moses ascended Mount Sinai on
that day td receive the Ten
Commandments. What day,
then, could have been more ap-
propriate than ' Shovuoth for
ha ntf the Religous School’s
Confirmation service? Confir-
mation is not a sign of comple-
tion of study, but rather a be-
gi -rung of the confinnant’s ac-
tive participation in Jewish life.
On Shevuoth he dedicates his
life to Judaism, to its lofty
ideals and high precepts.
“Just as Solomon dedicated
his Temple to God's service,
each Confirmant, with solem-
nity and reverence, vows to be
a true Jew or Jewess, and ded-
icates his future to that pur-
pose.” v
