Why do we vote? How do we vote? The universal right to elect and be elected is a defining feature of modern polities and a cornerstone of citizenship. We are taught, formally and informally, that voting is both a civic duty and a democratic right, indeed, a privilege. So, when that right is restricted or denied, we tend to see it as a serious democratic failure. And yet our understanding of why people vote, how they vote, and why some do not vote remains incomplete. This course approaches these questions through voting patterns in Israel, with particular attention to the upcoming elections, which, once again, framed as critical to Israel’s future. *** 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.

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. 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. You will get more creative and confident with the language and be able to communicate with more complexity. The heart of this course is speaking, but there will also be reading, writing and listening work. The course follows a learner-centered and communication-centered approach, meaning grammatical points will be taught as they arise naturally through the interactions in the class. *** 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.

East Jerusalem is one of the most talked-about places in the world - but how much do people actually know about the city and the people who live in it? This course takes intermediate Arabic learners beyond the headlines and into the streets, neighborhoods, and communities that make up "East Jerusalem". We'll get to know the city's diverse Palestinian society - who they are, where they come from, and how they see themselves - while connecting what we learn to the events and developments unfolding there right now. We'll explore the history of East Jerusalem's neighborhoods, the different communities that call them home, and the wide spectrum of identities and perspectives that shape life here today and in the news. If you've ever wanted to truly understand East Jerusalem, not just read about it, but hear it, this course is for you. *** 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.

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 delve into Palestinian folk music, such as wedding songs and the various rituals of farmers and shepherds. In the traditional Palestinian wedding, there are different phases, and each phase has its own song, lyrics, and rhythm. We will get to know them and explore together the social roles of these rituals and how music and lyrics reflect them in particular. At the same time, there are other rituals that relied heavily on improvisation, and over time some of these improvised songs became a lasting part of Palestinian culture, passed down across generations. We will learn their stories together. What are the traditional musical instruments? What is the style of writing? The rhythm? Can wedding music be sung at a funeral? We will explore these questions together - reading, watching, listening, and singing!  *** 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.
