Budapest’s beloved Sunday kids’ program is back at Zsilip—refreshed, rebranded, and buzzing with energy as the Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School. Housed in the Zsilip Center at Újpesti rakpart 1 in District 13, the program returns to its two-level playhouse and a cluster of learning rooms where hundreds of children once packed their Sunday mornings with games, friendships, and joyful, hands-on learning. Sessions run Sundays, 10:00–12:15 (some activities until 12:30), and welcome everyone ages 4 to 14, including preteens gearing up for their bar/bat mitzvahs.
What Happens on Sundays
Kids rotate through age-based sessions that blend creativity, Jewish stories, traditions, and values. The plan: prepare for holidays together, learn mitzvot through play, explore heritage, and build the kind of values that carry through life. Whether you’re little, already a tween, or on the cusp of leadership, the school is designed for you.
Age Groups and Vibes
I. Ages 4–6 — “Hullám Group”: bright green, playful, crafty, and eco-minded. Jewish stories and heroes come alive with laughter, discovery, and lots of making. Each Sunday shapes a small, cheerful community. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
II. Ages 7–9 — Creative adventures, Jewish tales, games, and a super-good mood. Expect hands-on projects and stories that spark curiosity. We can’t wait to meet as many smiling little seashells as possible. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
III. Ages 10–11 — The “Yam Group” focuses on community building, discovery, and upbeat sessions. There’s room to create, play, laugh, and make friends while diving into stories and crafts. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
IV. Ages 12–13 — Bar/Bat Mitzvah Club (BMC): a space for those stepping toward Jewish adulthood. Think lively conversations about values and tradition, plus games, crafts, brainstorming, creative challenges, projects, and special experiences. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
V. Ages 13–14 — MKZ leadership track for future madrichim (youth leaders). Weekly training explores how to model values, support younger kids, and grow into strong guides and educators—always in a warm Jewish spirit. Time: Sundays 10:00–12:15.
