Budapest’s Óbuda Synagogue is rolling out KiddieTime, a weekly Wednesday series blending music, learning, drama play, and Krav Maga to help kids explore Jewish traditions. Tailored for ages 3–10 and their parents, the afternoon runs 16:30–18:00 and turns the synagogue’s community spaces into a hands-on, joy-first classroom.
Sing, Learn, Move Together
Each session unfolds in three parts, each opening a new door to culture, heritage, and values. First up: a family music block with Hebrew songs, prayers, and melodies tied to the holidays, inviting parents and children to learn and sing side by side.
Stories Come Alive
Next, kids dive into the weekly Torah portion through drama education. Guided by a drama educator, they role-play, play games, and create their way into the narratives, turning ancient stories into lived experiences with playful tools and imagination.
Confidence Through Krav Maga
The finale is movement: a Krav Maga class led by a coach with experience in Israel. Beyond fitness, it builds confidence, discipline, and community spirit.
