Hebrew Language Programs for Ukrainian Immigrants

Government funded Ulpan, intensive Hebrew language programs, are available as a resource to help new immigrants adjust to life in Israel. However, because there is currently approximately a 1.5 year wait for these free classes, Project Kesher Israel has stepped in to provide Hebrew programs to help Ukrainian women adjust as quickly and comfortably as possible. After the success of the Hebrew course in Petach Tikvah, PK Israel launched a second program, this time virtual, for new immigrants in Haifa, Jerusalem, and Ashkelon. Refugees in Israel who are not recognized as Jewish and therefore do not have access to immigration benefits (like free classes and stipend) are being welcomed to take part in PK Israel's practical Hebrew classes. These classes are the bridge that Ukrainian immigrants and refugees need in order to gain independence and stability.
