Study

As a Tikkun Olam participant, you'll have the chance to benefit from an enriching and useful study experience alongside Israeli peers, and taught by outstanding teachers.
 
In the first month of the program, you'll learn Hebrew in an intensive ulpan setting with our highly trained Hebrew teaching staff.  You'll also have introductory seminars to get you acclimated to your neighborhood and prepare you to begin volunteering.
 
Following the orientation month, you'll study once a week in classes involving such topics as Jewish identity, volunteering in Israel, the Jewish calendar through a textual lens, and more.  Some classes will be held together with groups of Israeli peers, and optional courses and seminars will be made available.  The teaching staffs at the Daniel Centers and Bina boast some of the biggest names in Jewish scholarship in Israel.
 
Monthly tours around Tel Aviv-Jaffa and elsewhere in Israel supplement the study programs with once-in-a-lifetime encounters with the peoples and cultures living in Israel.
 
In addition, Hebrew classes will continue to be offered twice weekly throughout the duration of the program, and participants will also have the opportunity to take an informal conversational Arabic class.
