when:
Szentendre’s Jewish House at 2000 Szentendre, Pátriarka utca 6, doubles as a synagogue and a bustling community hub, weaving faith, culture, and everyday life into one warm, creative center. The 2026 calendar is packed with holiday prep, hands-on learning, and food-focused gatherings that blend heritage with modern flair. Expect crafting, relaxed study, frank conversations, and soul-soothing treats—each session designed to be one of a kind.
Doors open at 17:45, with the Megillah reading at 18:00—spiked with a playful twist and best enjoyed in full medieval costume. The party really starts after the scroll, when cocktails inspired by old-school recipes replace today’s mixes. The rallying cry: What did our ancestors drink? Let’s mix it and find out. Dress as a knight, dance like it’s Purim, and don’t forget why we’re celebrating. Location: Szentendre.
Gather to prep for the coming holidays with crafty sessions that turn the candle-lighting blessing into a wall piece. It’s a low-pressure mix of making, light learning, breezy conversation, and good-for-you bites. Every time is different; if you can, don’t miss it. Location: Szentendre.
