Ulpan-Or Graduates
Thank you everyone for a wonderful experience
Ulpan Or has helped me to progress and has made me feel very comfortable. Everyone here has been to me like a family and I feel very much at home with everyone.
Each teacher has their own personality and way of instructing. Their care and concern to provide me with what I need, and their patience [...]
What a gift!
I really never imagined when I came to Ulpan Or that I would learn so much in such a short time. I have increased in my ability to read, write and speak Hebrew with ease. Mostly, I have a new-found comfort and feeling of being at home in the language. What a gift! Thank you [...]

My greatest disappointment is not being able to continue for yet another session. When I came to Ulpan Or I had really only one goal – to speak Hebrew. I had been in other programs over the years, both in the U.S. and in Israel, most recently in a well respected and, in many ways, [...]

Taking this course was one of the best decisions I ever made. Prior to the course my knowledge of Hebrew was only what I had needed to barely scrape by at my Bar Mitzvah, but after two weeks at Ulpan-Or I learned more Hebrew then in all the years of Sunday school combined. I [...]
within 2 weeks I am talking
This was the perfect way for me to begin to learn Hebrew. I came with only Shalom and Todah, and within 2 weeks I am talking and (almost) reading and am excited about learning more, continuing to speak with people, and, with language in my mind and heart, further integrating into life here in Jerusalem. [...]

I learned so much Hebrew from this ulpan. I would recommend this and esp the Sabra program (since that’s the program I participated in) for anyone that truly wants to have a preview how it should feel to totally speak Hebrew and experience a week long adventure into seeing how it feels to speak only [...]

_This method of teaching is outstanding. It works! Somehow the vocabulary gets into your head and sticks. The affirmation statement helps a great deal, as well as the constant encouragement from the staff and the teachers. You can do it and you are made to believe you can. In addition to the learning, everyone is [...]

It has been the first Ulpan I have ever done and it has been a great experience. The only speaking Hebrew was a difficulty for me but I think it was what helped me the most. It has given me the confidence to talk to the locals in Israel and bargaining in the shook.

Daniel Grunstein, 16 years old
In the past I have studied at numerous intensive Hebrew Institutions all of which have helped me. However I think what makes Ulpan Or stand out amongst all of them is their ability to educate their students on more than merely the standard curriculum but to give student confidence and fluency [...]
