TLV INTERMEDIATE HEBREW | SPRING 25
This is Not An Aliyah w/ Matan | 30h
Description
Officially Israel has no immigration plan. The only law concerning immigration is the “Law of Return”, which guarantees a right for citizenship to Jews. Jews coming to Israel are viewed as people who “return” home, not like regular immigrants. Of course, Israel always had non-Jewish immigrants and the Jews who came here were indeed immigrants, dealing with all the usual challenges this status entails. In this class we will discuss the ways immigration is seen in Israel, in the past and today. We will learn about notable immigrant communities and how each one of them helped shape the Israeli mosaic. To do so we will peek into archives and see what politicians had to say, we'll read newspapers of the time and look at movies and television shows made. And most important, we will share our own immigration stories and see how they fit into the big narrative of Israeli immigration. This course is for learners who are beyond the basic conversational level and can communicate in Hebrew in the present and past tense and form their own sentences. In this course, you will get more creative and confident with the language and be able to communicate with more complexity about a range of topics in society and your daily life. *** Early Bird Price Start at - 1300 NIS - Until 23/03 Reduced Price Start at - 1400 NIS - Until 13/04 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.
