How to navigate Massuot

At FRS having a B'nei Mitzvah isn't just about the big day, but about all the friendships, conversations and experiences that make up the journey. 

The more you put in, the more you get out. We're looking forward to spending time with you and your family and accompanying your journey to B'nei Mitzvah.

Massuot is a Shabbat-centred programme, with our core times built around Friday evenings (Year 6 CLaL, Friday Group, Chavurah suppers and Kabbalat Shabbat services) and Saturday mornings (Year 7 CLaL, and Shabbat Shacharit services).

For details specific to your year group, please use the links below.
As we are amending the programme mid-cycle, please note that there are changes to each year group’s programme.

Nitzotzot

Nitzotzot (sparks) are collected for being in shul on Shabbat. This will include being in services, being on the Kiddush rota, or on welcoming duty too. Also for attending an ulpan and completing your Mitzvah Project.


How to collect Nitzotzot 
At the Massuot Kick-Off day at the beginning of the year you were given your Nitzotzot passport which will be kept at FRS so you never have to worry about losing it! At each service you come to, pick up your Nitzotzot passport and bring it to Rhiannon, Ayal, or a member of Clergy at the end of the service to collect a nitzotz (flame) sticker.

You will need to collect a minimum of 18 nitzotzot for Kabbalat Shabbat (Friday night) and another 18 nitzotzot for Shacharit (Shabbat morning) over the course of the programme. Your nitzotzot passport will need to be completed by roughly four months before the date of your B’nei Mitzvah.

Upcoming dates are below. Booking is required for all Chavurah Dinners and the 2024/25 Year 8 sessions - click this link to book
