Budapest’s beloved Zsilip center in the 13th district, at Újpesti rakpart 1, is bringing back the magic with the all-new Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School starting Sunday, April 12, 2026. Hundreds of kids who spent their Sunday mornings here years ago still rave about the shared games, playful learning, and unforgettable adventures. Now refreshed and ready, this Jewish study hall returns to the two-story playhouse packed with learning rooms. A young, enthusiastic team invites every kid and teen ages 4 to 14 (and even younger ones or those prepping for Bar/Bat Mitzvah) from 10:00 to 12:15 every Sunday. Split into age groups, they’ll prep for holidays together, dive into mitzvot, explore traditions, and soak up lifelong values—no matter if you’re a little one, a tween, or almost a young adult, this school’s made for you!
Age Groups and Fun Activities
The school runs in tailored age groups. For 4-6-year-olds, the Hullám-csoport (Wave group) bursts with excitement every Sunday: green-themed play, laughter, crafts, and storytelling that brings Jewish heroes to life. They discover, create stories, make crafts, and build a tight-knit community—all in a splash of green fun from 10:00-12:15. Next, 7-9-year-olds jump into creative chaos with Jewish tales, games, and super vibes starting in September. Expect tons of crafting, stories, play, and smiles as they meet new pals.
The 10-11-year-olds in the Yam-csoport (Sea group) form a real crew for building community, creating, playing, laughing, and exploring. Jewish stories, crafts, friendships, and joy overflow every Sunday from 10:00-12:15—the team’s pumped to share those mornings! For 12-13-year-olds, the Bar Mitzvah/Bat Mitzvah Club (BMC) kicks off with positive energy, laughs, and good times. Aimed at those stepping into adulthood, it covers becoming official community members through chats on Jewish values, traditions, personal questions, games, crafts, group discussions, experiences, creative challenges, and projects—all from 10:00-12:15.
Future Leaders Training
Finally, the MKZ group trains future madrichim (leaders) ages 3-14 every Sunday. They learn about leading by example, understanding children’s needs and development, and serving as guides—in a fun, Jewish atmosphere from 10:00-12:15.
