 In 1912, Rabbi Mattuck introduced Confirmation ceremonies, marking a young person's graduation from the Religion School at the age of sixteen.At the time they did not exist in Anglo-Jewry, but were customary in Reform synagogues in the United States (Fox 2011).The ceremonies later became known as "Kabbalat Torah" (Confirmation) by Rabbi Rayner, as a part of a trend towards the greater use of Hebrew (Fox 2011).
