Hebrew Classes

It’s never too late to learn Hebrew! The Bender JCC is pleased to offer a variety of virtual and hybrid daytime and evening Hebrew classes year-round, from beginner (Aleph level) to advanced (Hay level), in Ulpan Ben Yehuda conversational Hebrew. Ulpan is an Israeli method for teaching and improving all Hebrew language skills—speaking, comprehension, reading, and writing. Ulpan classes at the Bender JCC are taught by highly qualified and experienced teachers.

We are the only Ulpan in the area that offers in-person classes and uses a multimedia curriculum created by the Israeli Center of Educational Technology (CET), which includes Hebrew language learning, Israeli culture, and literature as well as Jewish tradition.

For more information, please contact Rivka Degani at 301-348-3820 or rdegani@benderjccgw.org.

What do our students say?

“Thanks for all you do especially your class discussion of the holidays. I feel I am learning more than just speaking Hebrew.”
-Marc L.

“Can’t remember where you parked your car? Medical researchers tell us that studying a foreign language as an adult is one of the best ways to maintain high brain function as we age. So, even if the religious, cultural, and social benefits don’t move you, consider studying Hebrew to keep your memory and concentration sharp. It couldn’t hurt.”
-Marvin S.
