Budapest’s beloved Sunday kids’ program returns with a fresh name and the same buzzing energy. The Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School is relaunching at the Zsilip Center, a two-level space packed with a playhouse and dedicated study rooms, ready to welcome a new wave of curious kids and teens. Generations who spent their Sunday mornings here still trade stories about games, laughter, and learning that felt like play—now it’s time for the next chapter.
Every Sunday from 10:00 to 12:15 (with team members on hand until 12:30), the young, enthusiastic crew is opening the doors to everyone aged 4–14. The plan: prepare together for the holidays, learn about mitzvot, explore traditions, and pick up the values that stay with you for life. Tiny, tween, on the cusp of being a madrich, or gearing up for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah—this space is yours.
