when:
Vasárnapi gyerekprogram is back at Zsilip, now refreshed as the Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School (Zsiliputi Zsidó Vasárnapi Iskola). The beloved Sunday Jewish school returns to the Zsilip Center at 1 Újpesti Embankment (Újpesti rakpart 1) in Budapest’s 13th District, a venue packed with a two-level playhouse and plenty of classrooms. Generations of kids who spent their Sunday mornings here still talk about the games, friendships, and playful learning that filled their weekends.
Classes run every Sunday, 10:00–12:15 (some announcements note 10:00–12:30), welcoming everyone aged 4–14, including preteens preparing for Bar/Bat Mitzvah. The goal: prepare for Jewish holidays together, learn about mitzvot, explore traditions, and absorb the values that carry through life. Whether you’re little, a tween, already thinking about becoming a youth leader, or still before your Bar/Bat Mitzvah, this school is built for you.
