Ulpan Programs in Israel





Ulpan in the Absorption center

Almost every absorption center has classrooms for Hebrew study, or Ulpan. A few absorption centers do not offer classes on-site, but they are associated with nearby Ulpanim. In any case, the five-month Ulpan is compulsory for all absorption center residents.
Hebrew study is central to the absorption center’s goal, which is your rapid and relatively painless entry into Israeli society. There are usually several levels of study, and you will be tested to determine your placement level.
