The Sunday kids’ program returns to the Zsilip Center at 1 Újpesti Quay (Újpesti rakpart 1) with a refreshed name and energy: Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School (Zsiliputi Zsidó Vasárnapi Iskola). The beloved Sunday program moves back into the two-level playhouse and study-room-packed venue, ready to fill late mornings with games, hands-on learning, and community building for kids ages 4–14. Sessions run Sundays from 10:00 to 12:15 (some activities continue to 12:30). The young, enthusiastic team promises holiday prep, mitzvah learning, tradition discovery, and values that stick for life, whether you’re little, a tween, a teen-in-training, or gearing up for Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
Who It’s For
Open to children and teens ages 4–14, the school splits into age-based groups. The goal: shared experiences, play-based education, and a strong sense of Jewish identity—all inside the lively Zsilip hub. If you’re on the cusp of your Bar/Bat Mitzvah or dreaming of becoming a madrich (youth leader), there’s a space designed for you.
Group I (Ages 4–6): Hullám Group
Expect a green-themed world of play, crafts, and eco-friendly ideas where Jewish stories and heroes come alive. Every Sunday brings discovery, storytelling, and making things together as the littlest learners grow into a tight-knit mini-community. Time: Sundays, 10:00–12:15.
Group II (Ages 7–9)
Creative adventures, Jewish tales, games, and a super-fun vibe from September onward. 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): Yam Group
A real community awaits, with space to create, play, laugh, and explore. Think Jewish stories, crafting, friendship, and plenty of good cheer. The team is already prepping for Sundays together. Time: Sundays, 10:00–12:15.
Group IV (Ages 12–13): Bar/Bat Mitzvah Club
The BMC kicks off with positive energy, laughter, and big Sunday smiles. For those stepping into Jewish adulthood, this is where you dig into values, traditions, and your own questions. Expect games, crafts, shared thinking, experiences, creative challenges, and project work. Time: Sundays, 10:00–12:15.
Group V (Ages 13–14): Madrich Training
The MKZ group trains future madrichim weekly—how to set an example, lead, and teach. Learn about children’s needs and development and how to support them as a madrich, all in good spirits and a Jewish atmosphere. Time: Sundays, 10:00–12:15.
