KiddieTime is a new Wednesday series at the Óbuda Synagogue that blends music, learning, dramatic play, and Krav Maga to help kids explore Jewish tradition. It’s all about music, learning, play, and movement for ages 3–10, with parents welcome to join. Venue: 163 Lajos Street, Óbuda (District 3), 1036 Budapest. Sessions run 16:30–18:00.
What Happens Each Wednesday
Every Wednesday, the synagogue’s community spaces become a lively hub for shared, experience-based learning and downtime. The program has three parts, each bringing kids closer to Jewish culture, traditions, and values in a different way. First up is a music block for kids and parents together, discovering Hebrew songs, prayers, and melodies tied to the holidays.
Stories Come Alive
Next is the weekly Torah portion through drama pedagogy: games, role-play, and creative making guide children deeper into the stories, led by a drama educator.
Move, Focus, Grow
The afternoon closes with a movement session: a Krav Maga class taught by a coach with experience in Israel. Beyond exercise, the aim is to build confidence, discipline, and community spirit.
