Israel Way - Hebrew in the City: Cost, Coverage & How to Fund It
Israel Way - Hebrew in the City is a 4-month MASA-affiliated Hebrew language immersion program run by Israel Way, designed for Jewish young adults who want to develop genuine Hebrew fluency through daily urban life in Israel. Unlike classroom-only ulpan programs, Hebrew in the City emphasizes learning Hebrew through real engagement — navigating Israeli neighborhoods, shopping in local markets, making Israeli friends, and living the daily life that produces natural language acquisition. Formal Hebrew instruction is provided, but the city itself is the primary classroom. Participants live in shared housing in an Israeli city, attend organized cultural programming, and practice their Hebrew in authentic Israeli contexts every single day. Fully MASA-affiliated and eligible for grants of $1,000–$4,500.
