Haifa is often described as the capital of the north, but what exactly does that mean? What was Haifa before it became the city we know today, and what role has it played in the wider region? In this course, we will explore Haifa from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day - the city that was, the city that is, and the many cities that exist within it. We will look at the different communities, movements, and ideas that have shaped Haifa, from political and social movements to its music and art scenes. We will explore Haifa’s connections to the Galilee, Nazareth, the West Bank, and beyond, and ask how geography, transportation, politics, and history have shaped the way people move through and relate to this space. Along the way, we will learn a lot of Hebrew through texts, conversations, videos, and perhaps a field trip or two. We will expand our vocabulary, dive deeper into the structures of the language, and most importantly, practice expressing ourselves - while getting to know the city we live in a little better. *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 06/09 Reduced Price Start at - 1550 NIS - Until 04/10 Full Price Start at - 1700 NIS - Until first lesson of the course We have made a small change in our pricing structure and are now offering a sliding scale in order to give you the opportunity to donate 100 or 200 shekels when you buy a course.

How do you talk about what’s happening around you in Arabic? In this course, current events become our classroom material. Every day, we’ll work with news from Palestine, Israel, and across the Arab world, selected and rewritten by our teachers into natural Palestinian Arabic, making real and relevant content accessible while keeping the language rich and challenging. We’ll build the vocabulary needed to understand and discuss current events, while practicing how to summarize stories, explain developments, express opinions, compare perspectives, and take part in more complex conversations in Arabic. The news will also give us reason to revisit grammar and push our language further. Through each story, we’ll work with more complex sentence structures, connectors, and ways of organizing and expressing ideas clearly through material that is current, relevant, and worth talking about. *** We have made a change in our pricing structure and are offering a sliding scale in order to give you the opportunity to donate 100 or 200 shekels to our scholarship & emergency fund.

Is there such a thing as “Israeli food”? What role has food played in shaping Israeli identity? How does the culinary landscape in Israel reflect the country’s ethnic and class divisions? And what counts as comfort food? In this course, we will dive into the pressure cooker of Israeli culinary politics. Together, we will watch cooking shows, read menus and recipes, explore the past and present of local food culture - and maybe even cook ourselves! We will explore debates around cultural fusion vs. cultural appropriation, especially in relation to Palestinian cuisine, and ask: who gets credit for the flavors that define a nation? Through these activities, we will examine the connections and tensions between food and issues such as gender, nationality, class, religion, ethnicity and more, and gain further insight into the society in this land. *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 06/09 Reduced Price Start at - 1550 NIS - Until 04/10 Full Price Start at - 1700 NIS - Until first lesson of the course We have made a small change in our pricing structure and are now offering a sliding scale in order to give you the opportunity to donate 100 or 200 shekels when you buy a course.

In Hebrew, the word misẖak (משחק) carries several meanings. It can refer to a game, such as a board game or a sporting event, but also to play, as in theatre, performance, and acting. This overlap opens up a productive political possibility: the chance to re-examine, reimagine, and “play with” the reality around us. Throughout this course, we will learn and play with Hebrew through a variety of methods that explore the many meanings of misẖak. We will engage with acting exercises, theatrical texts, and improvisation, alongside board games that reflect different periods in local history and raise questions about class, society, and culture. We are not here to excel at any of these activities. Rather, we will use them as tools for experimentation, allowing us to encounter Hebrew, and ourselves, from new perspectives. In this course, you are welcome to be competitive, but the goal is the process rather than the victory. So, ready, set... go! *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 06/09 Reduced Price Start at - 1550 NIS - Until 04/10 Full Price Start at - 1700 NIS - Until first lesson of the course We have made a small change in our pricing structure and are now offering a sliding scale in order to give you the opportunity to donate 100 or 200 shekels when you buy a course.
