How to Navigate Massuot For Year 6

Year 6 CLaL (Community Life and Learning)

CLaL runs from 5.20pm to 6.20pm and finishes in time for a short break before joining the Kabbalat Shabbat service with your family. The year group is divided into two groups - blue and green (September - February), purple and orange (February - July) - and each group will attend CLaL sessions every other Friday evening in term time. If you're unable to attend on a specific week, please do attend the equivalent session for the other group so you don't miss out.

The CLaL sessions are learning sessions for Year 6s to allow them to get to know each other as well as to explore a range of Jewish themes and educational topics, helping them to forge their own Jewish identities as they move towards their B'nei Mitzvah.

The programme also includes Friday night chavurah dinners and, as always, Shabbat service attendance, for which you will collect a nitzotz (spark) for your passport.

Friday Night dinners (and Kabbalat Shabbat!)

Throughout the year, there are three opportunities to come together over a bring-and-share Chavurah dinner at FRS, following the Kabbalat Shabbat service, for Year 6s and the whole family. These are a lovely way to get to know each other outside of structured programming and spend time with the 'other half' of the year group! We also have an wonderful chance to pray together too, with a Kabbalat Shabbat service run by and for Year 6 towards the end of the year for the whole year group! 

Ulpan

To bridge the gap between Hebrew at Kochavim and Friday Group, Year 6s are offered a short Hebrew course! These typically take place in the school half term holidays, or in an after-school slot, and we will send out information about the assessment and invitations to join towards the start of Year 6.

Nitzotzot

Don't forget to collect a Nitzotz (flame) sticker from Rhiannon or Ayal at the end of any Shabbat service that you attend, to stick into your Massuot passport! 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
