This course draws on archival materials, Palestinian newspapers, photographs, advertisements, memoirs, and personal testimonies to explore everyday life in Palestine before, during, and after the Nakba. Through authentic texts and a wide range of historical and cultural sources, we will engage with questions of art, culture, society, labor, economics, and politics, while strengthening our Arabic skills. Together, we will examine how ordinary people lived, worked, created, and imagined their futures, and how these experiences were shaped by the profound transformations of the twentieth century. Along the way, we will also reflect on the role of archives themselves, asking: Whose stories are preserved and remembered, whose voices are marginalized or erased, and what can we learn by reading history through the traces people leave behind? *** 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.

What can slang tell us about society? In this course, we will explore Palestinian slang, idiomatic expressions, jokes, insults, and everyday phrases, asking where they come from, when they are used, and what they can reveal about identity, class, gender, age, and power relations. Along the way, we will develop the skills to speak Arabic in a more natural, confident, and nuanced way. Rather than treating language as a fixed set of rules, we will approach it as something living and constantly evolving, shaped by the people who use it and by the social and political worlds they inhabit. Through the study of everyday speech, we will gain not only linguistic fluency but also deeper insight into Palestinian society and culture. *** 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.

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.

This course bridges the gap between structured Beginner Arabic and the more open, less-filtered world of Intermediate learning.

Interactive online activities and small-group work give students plenty of opportunities to speak, exchange ideas, and use Palestinian Arabic independently thus, making real and relevant content accessible while keeping the language rich and challenging.

How can we express nonbinary gender in such a binary language? What words can we use to express our gender and sexuality in Hebrew?

“Without a sense of identity, there can be no real struggle”     - Paulo Freire   What is Mizrahi identity? Not only oppression, discrimination and immigration - but 2000 years of literature, culture, community and history - so come and get to know more of it, in Hebrew! In this course we will learn about the lives of Jews in “Eastern” regions (the Arab world, the Islamic world, Asia, and Africa); study important historical figures; experience ancient and relevant culture, arts and thought. We will speak about imperialism and orientalism, tradition and modernity, identity and community, gender and religious feminism, nationalism and Zionism, immigrant communities, religious and ethnic minorities, and more. Throughout this course we will learn in a critical way: we will examine and ask questions, and together work to understand how this is relevant to today, to our lives, and to our own complex identities.  In each lesson we will learn about a significant Mizrahi historical figure, and through them we will learn about their community, their struggles, and their cultural and political implications. We will learn together from original texts, liturgical and secular poetry. We will have deep and personal discussions, and we will present our own ideas and stories, and how they may relate to the topics of the course. We will gain tools to decipher complex and challenging Hebrew texts, learn Jewish cultural terminology, and share experiences and opinions in Hebrew. *** 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.
