Budapest’s beloved Sunday kids’ program is back at Zsilip with a fresh vibe and a new name: Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School (Zsiliputi Zsidó Vasárnapi Iskola). Housed in the Zsilip Center at 1 Újpest Embankment (Újpesti rakpart 1), the revamped Jewish Sunday School returns to its two-level playhouse with multiple study rooms, ready to turn late Sunday mornings into a whirl of play, learning, and community. Sessions run Sundays from 10:00 to 12:15, while the welcoming team opens the doors from 10:00 to 12:30 for everyone aged 4–14, including teens on the cusp of their next big steps.
What Kids Do
Expect hands-on prep for holidays, playful learning about mitzvot, a friendly dive into traditions, and the kind of shared values you carry through life. Whether you’re little, a tween, a teen-in-training, or heading toward your Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the Zsiliputi Sunday School is built for you.
Group I (ages 4–6): The “Hullám” Crew
The Hullám group runs nature-themed play, crafts, and storytelling that bring Jewish tales and heroes to life. Every Sunday means discovery, giggles, and messy, marvelous making as the littlest ones form a real mini-community. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
Group II (ages 7–9): Creativity, Stories, Games
From September onward, the plan is simple: creative projects, Jewish stories, plenty of games, and a buzzing, happy vibe. The team can’t wait to meet as many smiling “little shells” as possible. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
Group III (ages 10–11): Build, Explore, Laugh
In the Yam group, kids find a tight-knit crew that makes, plays, laughs, and explores together. Think Jewish stories, crafting, new friendships, and good humor—enough to go around every single week. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
Group IV (ages 12–13): Bar/Bat Mitzvah Club
The BMC kicks off Sundays with high spirits and big grins. It’s for those stepping toward community membership, eager to unpack Jewish values, traditions, and their own questions. Expect games, crafts, shared thinking, experience-based programs, creative challenges, and project work. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
Group V (ages 13–14): Training Future Madrichim
In the MKZ group, future madrichim learn how to lead by example, understand kids’ needs and development, and support younger groups—all in a warm Jewish spirit. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
