Budapest’s Zsilip Center is bringing back its beloved Sunday kids’ program with a fresh twist: the Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School returns to Újpest Embankment (Újpesti rakpart) 1 with a two-level playhouse, a stack of study rooms, and a buzzing team ready to welcome children and teens. Sessions run on Sundays from 10:00 to 12:15 or 12:30, and the idea is simple: play, learn, and grow together while building a strong, joyful community.
Who It’s For and When
The program welcomes kids ages 4–14 every Sunday, 10:00–12:15 (some notes list 10:00–12:30). Activities are split by age, so everyone gets content that fits. Expect hands-on prep for Jewish holidays, learning about mitzvot, exploring traditions, and absorbing the values that shape life. Whether you’re little, a tween, a teen-in-training, or approaching Bar/Bat Mitzvah, there’s a group with your name on it at Zsilip.
Group I (Ages 4–6): “Hullám Group”
The Hullám crew meets in a green-themed space where Jewish stories and heroes come alive through play, laughter, and crafts. Discovery, storytelling, and creating together turn Sundays into a friendly mini-community. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
Group II (Ages 7–9): Creative Stories and Games
From September onward, expect creative projects, Jewish tales, games, and a great vibe. The team can’t wait to meet loads of smiling “little shells.” Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
Group III (Ages 10–11): Community and Discovery
The Yam group offers a tight-knit space to make, play, laugh, and explore. There’s Jewish storytelling, crafting, friendship-building, and plenty of good cheer. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
Group IV (Ages 12–13): Bar/Bat Mitzvah Club
The BMC launches Sundays with energy, laughter, and purpose. It’s for those stepping into community adulthood, exploring 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
The MKZ group shapes tomorrow’s madrichim (youth leaders). Together, teens learn how to set an example, lead well, and understand younger kids’ needs and development—always in a positive, Jewish-spirited environment. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
