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 15/03 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 05/04 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.

The character of Juha is considered one of the most well-known figures in Arab folk heritage. He shows up in countless anecdotes and stories that use both comedy and wisdom to offer important cultural and moral commentary. At times, he appears clever and critical; at other times, naively comical, which has made his stories a means of indirect social and political criticism. Juha’s tales did not remain confined to the Arab world; they also spread into Persian and Turkish traditions, and some versions reached popular literature in parts of Europe such as Italy. Abbas Mahmoud Al-Aqqad notes in his book “Juha: The Laughing and the Amusing” that Juha is not a single, clearly defined historical figure, but rather a cultural symbol in whom peoples' wisdom, satire, and life experiences accumulated across generations. This course will focus on reading these stories after translating or adapting them from Modern Standard Arabic into Palestinian colloquial Arabic, while explaining the Arab and Islamic cultural symbols found in them. Students will explore Juha’s character in depth and then ask together: Does Juha still exist among us today? And do his stories continue to reflect contemporary social and political realities? *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 15/03 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 05/04 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 does citizenship truly signify in a society that identifies itself as democratic while simultaneously upholding military rule over individuals in the occupied territories? How is citizenship defined in a nation that extols nationalism and militarism? In this Advanced Plus course, we will delve into the concept of citizenship and its manifestation in Israel/Palestine.

Each class we'll take a burning issue, a big scandal, a social struggle, or an event or a person that recently made a lot of noise - something that (at least some) people in Israel today care about.

In Modern Hebrew and in contemporary Israeli culture, we can never fully separate קודש from חול - sacred from everyday, religious from secular.  The Hebrew language is based on Biblical and religious Hebrew roots, and Israeli culture and language has many layers of religious references.  In this course we will explore central concepts and stories in Hebrew, mostly from the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible). We will learn about: - ‎The place of the Tanakh in Israeli culture and society - Connections between current political issues and historical Jewish texts - The relationship between modern spoken Hebrew and historical religious Hebrew - Connections between Jewish mythology and other Near Eastern mythologies We will read Tanakh both in the original Biblical Hebrew and in the controversial and fascinating "translation" into Modern Hebrew. As we explore the texts, we will discuss how the themes that come up are relevant to our lives and to Israeli society today. Themes including: gender, family, monotheism, Jerusalem, love, ethics, and more. Of course, this course is open to all Advanced Level Hebrew students whatever your religious background - whether you're a long time Yeshiva student or completely secular, whether you're Jewish or not.  *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 15/03 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 05/04 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 advanced Hebrew course, we will look at how both mainstream and independent media in Israel have behaved during the war and over the past decade. We'll explore what is often left out of coverage, the topics that get the most attention, and the issues that are considered off-limits. We'll also analyze how the media reports on stories from outside Israel and how controversial issues are covered, thinking about how these representations shape public opinion. The course will include writing assignments that allow participants to creatively engage with the topics we discuss, though no prior experience in creative writing is required. By the end, you will have a better understanding of how media works in Israel and have improved your writing skills in a way that connects to the critical issues we cover. 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 22/12/2024 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 12/01 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.
