Want to learn Arabic in a dynamic, immersive environment? The Intensive Arabic Semester offers you the opportunity to learn spoken Arabic on a highly professional level while immersing yourself in the local Jewish and Arab culture. In conjunction with learning the language, you will also explore a wide selection of fascinating courses in various topics relating to Jewish and Middle Eastern studies.

 

While the program is based at Kibbutz Barkai in northwest Israel, you will become regularly involved in social and community projects in the nearby Arab village of Arara. There with your host family you will be able to “give back” to the community while actively practicing your Arabic in its natural surroundings.
