Ulpan is Hebrew language instruction. English is the working language of the program but it is hugely beneficial for Fellows to develop basic conversational Hebrew, both to support their internship experience in Hebrew-speaking environments, and to assist their general development as Jewish, Zionist leaders.

Fellows will attend a daily ulpan for the first month of the program – before the internships begin – and then a weekly evening class throughout the first three months of the internships period.

IGF uses a tried-and-tested ulpan course which specializes in spoken Hebrew.
