A List of Ulpans in Israel for Adults and Students

An “ulpan” is a Hebrew language learning course. These courses are generally intensive and immersive and typically cater to new immigrants (olim) and students. Many ulpan courses are recognized by Misrad Haklita (the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption), and are free of charge for new Olim. Just keep in mind that prior to registering for a free Ulpan course, you must obtain a voucher from Misrad Haklita.

The following is a list of ulpans in Israel. Please contact the ulpan directly to find out if your course level is being offered and at what times.
