This course bridges the gap between structured Beginner Hebrew and the more open, less-filtered world of Intermediate learning. It encourages learners to move beyond fixed patterns, develop creativity in the language, and gain confidence improvising in Hebrew- even outside the comfort zone of everyday topics, while continuing to build and deepen key grammatical structures. Through discussions, video clips, and short texts, the course introduces a broad view of the realities that shape life in Israel. Topics include questions of who lives here and under what conditions, geopolitics and occupation, past and current events, gender and LGBTQ+ life and history, different forms of community, and social dynamics such as center versus periphery, alongside cultural and political expression and an introduction to the political system. Designed for advanced beginners and early intermediate learners, the course combines language development with critical engagement, supporting students in using Hebrew to navigate complex ideas and real-life contexts. Previous knowledge: Ability to read and write in Hebrew, with and without vowels Communicate in a variety of situations in daily life, make basic sentences Use of grammatical structures including: conjugating present & past tense, and infinitive verbs; questions and answers, possession and other prepositions Learning outcomes: Improve reading and writing proficiency, including the ability to engage with real-world Hebrew texts without vowels and develop better listening skills for everyday spoken Hebrew.

What stories about people can food tell? How do different communities in Israel use food to celebrate, to remember, to resist, or simply to feel at home? And what can we learn about this place by looking at what - and how - we eat? In this course, we will explore Israel’s diverse communities through their culinary traditions. We will look at food as a doorway into culture: from family dishes and holiday meals to street food, markets, and contemporary food trends. Along the way, we will get to know the histories, values, and everyday lives of groups living in this land - Mizrahi, Ashkenazi, Palestinian, Ethiopian, Russian-speaking communities, as well as refugees and migrant workers. Together, we will watch short videos, read menus and personal stories, discuss recipes, and learn the vocabulary of food and identity. Through these tastes and tales, we will examine how food reflects belonging and exclusion, memory and migration, tradition and change.

What's going on in East Jerusalem and how did we get here?! Why do most Palestinian Jerusalemites not have Israeli citizenship? What does the expansion of settlements in East Jerusalem mean for daily life on the ground? How are residency revocations being used as a political tool - and who is affected? What role does East Jerusalem play in the broader question of a future Palestinian state? Together we will explore these questions and many more, while gaining skills to express yourself in Hebrew. We will learn about different neighborhoods and sectors of Palestinian Jerusalemite society, about historical processes as well as current events. We will use a variety of different methods and sources of information: discussions, social media, video clips, activities, and presentations.

Take a boat And cross the sea of fire Zelda Hope is a political act. Hope is ambivalent. Hope is a practice. It is the choice, again and again, not to ignore the deep pain of our present reality but to act as if a better world is possible, in order to make it so. Belief in a just, shared future in Israel-Palestine seems rarer than ever since the 7th of October, the devastation of Gaza, and Israel's current trajectory of perpetual war. But it has never been more urgent.  In this course we will practice ambivalent and radical hope together, even if we don’t always feel it.  How? We will try to understand the deeper meanings of hope, despair, nostalgia and imagination - because feelings are both an individual experience and a collective phenomenon. They reflect culture and politics and are expressed throughout society. For example - perhaps Israelis use so much single use plastic because constant uncertainty and unprocessed trauma has made us nihilistic and disconnected from the consequences of our actions? We will also explore Israeli, Palestinian and other responses to our current crisis and beyond it. We will look at initiatives that broaden the horizon of political possibility and engage with intellectual and artistic works that have a crucial role both in presenting the reality of the past and present, and in insisting on the possibility of a future with justice and freedom for all. All advanced learners are welcome to this course. We will be using a variety of interactive activities, and giving plenty of space for learners to express themselves and their ideas in speaking and writing. Grammar and other linguistic elements will be taught in an integrated way depending on the needs and interests of the students. *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 14/06 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 05/07 Full Price Start at - 1500 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 this course, we will explore groups, grassroots collectives, and radical queer movements that have emerged in Israel over the years, particularly since the early 2000s. We will examine their development and the ways they have shaped public discourse, as well as the different strategies and modes of resistance they have employed in response to the realities of occupation and oppression in Israel. Through a range of archival materials - such as zines, event invitations, music, and more - we will gain insight into forms of resistance from within the society in Israel. What is their current state? How did they emerge, and where are they today? Throughout the course, students will engage in a variety of assignments aimed at practicing Hebrew through queer methodologies, including creating banners, zines, poetry, and more. This course is for learners who are beyond the basic conversational level and can communicate in Hebrew in the present and past tense and form their own sentences. In this course, you will get more creative and confident with the language and be able to communicate with more complexity about a range of topics in society and your daily life. *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 14/06 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 05/07 Full Price Start at - 1500 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.
