Vibrant Sundays are back at the Zsilip Center in Budapest’s 13th District, Újpesti rakpart 1, as the refreshed Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School (Zsiliputi Zsidó Vasárnapi Iskola) relaunches in a two-level playhouse packed with study rooms. A young, energetic team welcomes kids and teens aged 4–14 every Sunday from 10:00 to 12:30 for age-based sessions that mix hands-on learning, games, and Jewish traditions—building values meant to stick for life. Hundreds who spent their Sunday mornings here still talk about the memories, and a new wave is about to begin.
Who It’s For
Whether little or already a teen, pre- or post-Bar/Bat Mitzvah, there’s a group designed just for you. The school runs Sundays 10:00–12:15 at Zsilip, with each cohort diving into holiday prep, mitzvot, traditions, and community—through play, creativity, and discovery.
Group I: Ages 4–6 — “Hullám Group”
In green-themed sessions, Jewish stories and heroes spring to life with games, laughter, and plenty of crafts. Expect exploration, storytelling, and creating together as the kids become a tight-knit mini-community. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
Group II: Ages 7–9 — Creativity and Stories
Starting in September, count on crafting, Jewish tales, games, and a great 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 — Community and Discovery
The “Yam” group promises a real community where making, playing, laughing, and exploring go hand in hand. Expect Jewish stories, crafting, friendship, and good cheer. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
Group IV: Ages 12–13 — Bar/Bat Mitzvah Club
The BMC starts Sundays with energy, laughs, and good moods. It’s for those stepping toward adulthood, exploring what it means to become an official member of the community. There will be talks on Jewish values and traditions, your own big questions, plus games, crafts, shared thinking, experiential programs, creative challenges, and project tasks. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
Group V: Ages 13–14 — Madrich Training
In the MKZ group, future madrichim train weekly to lead by example. Learn about children’s needs and development, and how to support younger kids as guides—all in a warm, Jewish-spirited atmosphere. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
