Summer Hebrew Ulpan

The Conservative Yeshiva Summer Hebrew Ulpan is an opportunity to study Hebrew intensively for a short period of time in a small, congenial class as part of the popular Conservative Yeshiva Summer Program for college and post-college students from around the world. The top-notch Hebrew Ulpan teachers, motivated fellow students, and location in central Jerusalem, Israel, combine to make this a premier Hebrew language experience.

Five levels of modern Hebrew study are offered, including reading, writing, speaking, grammar, and Israeli culture.

Student Comments

“The liberal-yet-traditional atmosphere allows acceptance of all Jews who are looking to learn, at any stage of life, level of learning, or level of observance.”

“I encountered centuries-old texts full of questions and debate, the roots of our practices, beliefs, values and doubts. I ended the summer enriched, not only with memories and new friends, but with ongoing ways to enhance my Jewish life.”
