Everything you need to know about Home Ulpan and the Hebrew Immersion Retreat.
General — Home Ulpan Program
Home Ulpan is a unique Hebrew immersion program in Israel where you live and study inside your teacher's Israeli family home. You learn Hebrew naturally through daily conversations, shared meals, Shabbat dinners, and real Israeli life — not just in a classroom.
We offer courses for all levels — from complete beginners to advanced speakers. For the December 2026 Immersion Retreat specifically, intermediate or advanced level is required.
The program includes accommodation in an Israeli family home, Israeli breakfast every weekday morning, Hebrew classes every day, Shabbat dinner and Kiddush, and full immersion in Israeli family life. Lunches are not included — great cafés are within walking distance.
The price is ₪10,000 for a standard program (minimum 2 weeks), including accommodation, breakfast, Shabbat dinner, Kiddush, and all Hebrew classes. Contact us for pricing on longer stays.
