On the five-month Kibbutz Ulpan program, the week will be divided equally between time spent studying in intensive Hebrew-language courses, and performing volunteer work on your host kibbutz. A typical week includes 18-24 hours spent studying in a classroom environment. Specific type of work depends on the needs of the kibbutz.

Additionally, you will have access to a rich variety of cultural activities organized by the kibbutz and by The Jewish Agency.

Alumni of Kibbutz Ulpan typically enter university, join the IDF, or embark on careers in Israel. For your convenience each kibbutz offers two start dates during the year.
