Vasárnapi gyerekprogram is back at the Zsilip Center in Budapest, now relaunched as Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School (Zsiliputi Zsidó Vasárnapi Iskola). The beloved Jewish Sunday school returns to the two-level community hub, packed with a playhouse and multiple study rooms, ready to welcome a new wave of kids and teens for playful learning, tradition, and community. Sessions run every Sunday morning, designed to spark curiosity and build lifelong values through hands-on activities, stories, and group projects.
When and Where
Time: Sundays, 10:00–12:15 (some groups run 10:00–12:30)
Place: Zsilip, Budapest
Generations of kids who spent Sunday mornings here still trade stories about the games, friendships, and “learn-by-doing” moments they shared. Now, with fresh energy and a reimagined structure, the school invites everyone aged 4–14 to jump in.
What to Expect
Groups are divided by age, each with tailored sessions. Across all cohorts, participants prepare for holidays together, learn about mitzvot, explore traditions, and pick up values that stick with them for life. Whether you’re little or already teen-curious, heading toward youth leadership or preparing for your bar/bat mitzvah, this Sunday school is for you.

Play, crafts, and green themes bring Jewish stories and heroes to life every Sunday. Expect discovery, storytelling, creativity, and a warm mini-community vibe, all splashed in green and lots of laughter. Time: Sundays, 10:00–12:15.
Group II: Ages 7–9

Group III: Ages 10–11 — “Yam Group”
