Ulpan and Community Service Option

Students who choose the Ulpan/Community service option experience intensive Hebrew studies in an Ulpan 4 days a week for 5 to 6 academic hours a day. The focus of this track is to raise students’ Hebrew levels through participation in an intensive Ulpan experience. Learning Hebrew, however, cannot be done only in a classroom. The afternoons are devoted to community service in and around Jerusalem, during which the students will have the opportunity to practice their Hebrew while giving back to the community. The Ulpan studies take place in a city Ulpan (Milah Ulpan) where the Nativ students learn Hebrew together with olim (immigrants) who have recently moved to Israel.
