when:
Budapest’s Óbuda Synagogue is dedicating Wednesday afternoons to families with KiddieTime, a fresh weekly series blending music, learning, drama, and krav maga to introduce Jewish traditions to kids ages 3–10—and their parents. From 4:30 to 6:00 p.m., the community spaces at 1036 Budapest, District 3 – Óbuda, 163 Lajos Street (Lajos utca 163) come alive with songs, stories, and action.
Each session unfolds in three parts. It kicks off with a music segment where children and parents dive into Hebrew songs, prayers, and melodies tied to the holidays. Then comes the weekly Torah portion through drama pedagogy: guided play, role-play, and creative activities led by a drama educator help kids step into the stories.
The finale is all movement: a krav maga class taught by a coach with experience in Israel. Beyond exercise, the focus is on confidence, discipline, and building community spirit.
KiddieTime is led by Zsuzsa Szilánk, EMIH’s head of education. Programs are coordinated by Miri Radó, with Jewish content curated by Petra Nagy. Sessions are free but require registration. Upcoming dates in Budapest: 2026.03.11 (Wednesday), 2026.03.18, 2026.03.25, 2026.04.01, 2026.04.08. More dates coming soon. Organizers reserve the right to change times and programs.
