The word “shalom” is one of the most common words in the Hebrew language, whether as a greeting when meeting and parting, as a formal address, in everyday conversations, in articles that are passionate, pessimistic or naive, in philosophical writings, or within the sacred Hebrew texts of prayer and the Hebrew Bible. In Arabic as well, the word “salam” is present in daily life and in the holy scriptures. In both Hebrew and Arabic, the root of the word derives from shalem, expressing wholeness, inner peace, and reconciliation. And yet, between these two sister languages, so close to one another, both invoking peace in almost every encounter, peace itself remains an ongoing process that demands great effort on a daily basis. Throughout the course, we will explore various concepts of shalom as they appear in Hebrew writings and traditions, from biblical times to the present day. By engaging with songs, poetry, sacred texts, articles, essays, and key figures in Jewish and Israeli culture, we will discover together the many meanings of this everyday word, so simple, and yet so profound and full of longing: shalom. *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 14/12 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 04/01 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.

Let's delve into the world of rap from the Levant, focusing on the cultural expressions of Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria. This course aims to uncover what rap reveals about societal structures and how different groups are impacted by these structures. Through an exploration of Levantine rap, we'll examine the lyrical content, themes, and storytelling techniques used by artists to shed light on the complexities of society. From addressing political landscapes to portraying urban life and social dynamics, rap serves as a powerful medium for expressing the triumphs, struggles, and aspirations of marginalized communities. Join us as we analyze the intersections of power, identity, and resistance in Levantine rap, offering insights into the lived experiences of individuals and communities within the region. Through this study, we aim to deepen our understanding of societal structures and inspire critical dialogue on the pursuit of social justice and equity in the Levant. *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 14/12 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 04/01 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.

Much has been written in Hebrew - and in every language - about love: love for people, for places, for childhood, for objects, and of course, for language itself. Emma Goldman once wrote, “The most vital right is the right to love and be loved.” In Israel, as in many things, love is a little more complicated. In this course, we’ll explore the many faces of love in Hebrew language and culture. Through songs, stories, and discussions, we’ll expand our expressive abilities in Hebrew while diving into questions of love and politics: religion and love, gender, love under apartheid, love of land and place, and more. This course is designed for Hebrew learners who are beyond the basics and communicate in all tenses. Here you will gain confidence, expand your vocabulary, and develop the ability to discuss complex social topics in Hebrew - making your voice a part of the conversation. Join us to read, write, and speak about love - in all its beauty and complexity. *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 14/12 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 04/01 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.

It's a lot of fun to learn a language through songs—our brains are simply wired to experience and enjoy music. Songs are also a great way to familiarize ourselves with local culture. In this class, that's exactly what we'll do. Israeli culture is a clash of various different voices. We'll explore the hegemonic Labor Zionism of early statehood, marginalized immigrant voices, hushed echoes of diasporic memories, and the informed counter-cultures that have sprung up at various times. By doing this, we will enrich our knowledge of Hebrew and learn to appreciate the beautiful and rich culture that emerged in this place. This exploration will highlight the tragedy of what it has become, while also holding a glimpse into a still-possible and better future - a hope we must hold onto. The course emphasizes interactive discussion, critical thinking, and vocabulary enrichment, with grammar taught in an integrated, context-based way. All advanced learners are welcome. *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 14/12 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 04/01 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.
