Vibrant Sunday mornings are back at Zsilip. The beloved community program relaunches as the Zsiliputi Jewish Sunday School, settling into the Zsilip Center on 1 Újpesti Wharf (Újpesti rakpart 1) in Budapest’s 13th District, complete with a two-level playhouse and a cluster of study rooms. Hundreds of kids who spent their Sundays here still talk about the joy of shared games and playful learning—now it’s reimagined for a new season, with the same warm, buzzing energy and more space to explore.
