Budapest’s Óbuda Synagogue turns Wednesday afternoons into a hands-on journey through Jewish life for kids ages 3–10 and their parents. KiddieTime blends music, learning, drama, and movement to spark curiosity and confidence while building community. Sessions run every Wednesday, 16:30–18:00, at 1036 Budapest, District 3 – Óbuda (Old Buda), Lajos Street (Lajos utca) 163, and are free with registration.
Each afternoon unfolds in three parts. First up: a family music block with Hebrew songs, prayers, and holiday melodies that invite everyone to sing along and feel the rhythms of the calendar. Then comes the weekly Torah portion brought to life through drama pedagogy—guided play, role-play, and creative making led by a drama educator help kids inhabit the stories and values in age-appropriate ways. The finale shifts to movement with a kid-focused Krav Maga session taught by a coach with experience from Israel, designed to boost not only physical skills but also self-confidence, discipline, and a strong group 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. Upcoming dates in Budapest: 2026.02.25; 2026.03.04; 2026.03.11; 2026.03.18; 2026.03.25. Organizers reserve the right to change times and programs.
