For most of the 1930's the Temple had trouble keeping a Rabbi long enough to have a Confirmation class. Also, most families could not afford the cost of Temple membership nor the added cost of religious school. It is possible that there were other Confirmation classes since there are references to Confirmation students in religious school in some of the Board minutes during the Depression but no records exist of actual Confirmation Services.
Class of 1943
Pictured: Ellen Leavy, Barbara Wolf, Robert Goldfarb, Naomi Sachar, Esther Borow and Rabbi Augustus Loeb
Naomi (Penny) Margoles, nee Sachar, said that although children were usually confirmed in their first year of high school, this group was confirmed a year earlier than usual. Rabbi Loeb was going off to war and he wanted to see these children confirmed before he left. As it turns out, he never returned to Temple Sholom. He met and married a woman from the mid-west moved there and left the rabbinate. Penny said that he was a wonderful rabbi and was loved by all the children.
