Budapest’s Zsilip Center is rolling out a month of kid-friendly Shabbat gatherings and a fresh relaunch of its beloved Sunday school, now called Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School. Families are invited to learn, play, and celebrate together across multiple dates in February 2026, with parallel programs tailored for children and adults. Bring the whole crew—there’s learning, laughter, and even a raffle for attentive little listeners.
“Péntekecske” Friday Evenings
On Friday nights, the Zsiliputi playhouse hosts a mini Shabbat welcome just for kids while adults head to the synagogue for Rabbi Glitzi’s teaching. Children are guided by a madricha in playful, age-appropriate sessions about the weekly Torah portion, Shabbat, and current holidays, illustrated with pictures and packed with games. Pay attention, and you might leave with a small gift—plus, there’s a raffle to keep the excitement buzzing. The aim is simple: everyone, big and small, learns something special for Shabbat.
Dates: 2026.02.06, 2026.02.13, 2026.02.20. Location: Budapest.
Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School Returns
Sunday mornings are back at Zsilip with the revamped Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School, built on years of cherished memories from kids who spent their weekends here. Now refreshed and re-energized, the program runs inside the Zsilip Center, fully equipped with a two-story playhouse and a suite of study rooms designed for group learning and plenty of movement.
The enthusiastic young team welcomes children and teens ages 4–14 every Sunday from 10:00 to 12:30. Activities are organized by age group and shaped around hands-on discovery. Kids and teens will prepare for upcoming holidays together, learn about mitzvot, get to know traditions, and absorb the values meant to carry them through life. Whether you’re little or almost a teen, heading toward youth leadership or approaching your Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School is made for you.
Dates: 2026.02.08, 2026.02.15, 2026.02.22. Location: Budapest.
