In the Summer Ulpan, you’ll complete a full level of Hebrew unless you are a complete beginner and start the program without a good command of the Hebrew alphabet.

An “Ulpan” (pronounced “ool-pan”) is a studio or class designed for intensive instruction of Modern Hebrew.

For more than 50 years our Summer Ulpan has been the jewel in the crown of our yearly work. Thousands of students benefited from our best qualified and most experienced teachers, and celebrated the atmosphere of Jerusalem and student activities.

Students who complete the Summer Ulpan successfully will receive a transcript and academic credit from the Hebrew University.

During the summer we also offer a Level Vav course, which is a post-exemption level. These classes are aimed at students who have already succeeded in the Hebrew exemption exam (p’tor – Level Heh) and who are interested in increasing their proficiency in literary and academic Hebrew.

Please note: The opening of classes is dependent upon sufficient registration.
