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.

“Stories from the Qur’an” is a course that explores some of the most important narratives in Islamic tradition -- stories that have shaped religious belief, Arabic culture and language, and Palestinian cultural identity. Through close reading, discussion, and analyzing historical context, we will engage with Qur’anic stories as living narratives that continue to influence ethics, culture, and collective identity. The course focuses on selected stories from the Qur’an and the Hadith, including the story of creation and the first humans, Satan’s disobedience, the stories of different prophets according to Islam (e.g. Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus), and stories from the lifetime of Muhammad, such as Prophet Muhammad’s Night Journey, the Migration to Medina, and other stories. Participants will explore how these stories articulate themes of exile and return, justice and power, faith and doubt, while tracing their effects in Arabic culture, Palestinian storytelling, and everyday language. By the end of the course, students will: - Understand key Qur’anic narratives and their cultural significance. - Develop tools for reading sacred texts analytically. - Explore connections between Qur’anic stories, Arabic culture, and Palestinian identity. - Engage critically with themes of displacement, resilience, and moral struggle. - Expand Arabic vocabulary and knowledge of Islamic narratives and history through story-based learning. *** 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 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.
