Every Wednesday from 4:30–6:00 p.m., the Óbuda Synagogue turns into a buzzing family hub as KiddieTime rolls out a weekly mix of music, learning, drama play, and Krav Maga for kids ages 3–10 and their parents. It’s hands-on, joy-first Jewish education in a relaxed community space, designed to explore traditions, values, and stories together.
How the afternoon flows
Each session unfolds in three parts. First comes a music block where kids and parents sing Hebrew songs, learn simple prayers, and pick up tunes tied to the holidays. Energy stays high, and little ones get a feel for rhythm, language, and shared rituals without pressure.
Stories brought to life
Next up: the weekly Torah portion through drama pedagogy. Guided by a drama educator, children dive into narratives with play, role-play, and creating, turning ancient stories into something they can act out, question, and remember.
Move, focus, feel strong
The finale is movement: a kid-friendly Krav Maga class led by a coach with experience in Israel. Beyond fitness, it builds confidence, discipline, and a sense of belonging.
