Merkaz Ivrit: An Authentic Israel Experience at Camp

Merkaz Ivrit, offered by Kayitz Kef through the Consortium for the Teaching of Hebrew Language at Brandeis University, is a one-of-a-kind Hebrew immersion experience at Tel Yehudah as part of Merkaz: Center for Teen Life. The program blends camp life with an authentic taste of Israel, providing an immersive environment for learning Hebrew and connecting deeply with Israeli culture.

This isn't your average language program—it's a hands-on journey that transforms every moment into an opportunity to enhance your language skills. Imagine confidently conversing with Israeli friends, understanding current news, and enjoying Israeli movies without subtitles. Merkaz Ivrit is your gateway not only to speaking Hebrew but to living the language and culture of Israel.

No prior Hebrew experience is necessary for campers, and participants will receive a certificate of completion from Brandeis’ Consortium for the Teaching of Hebrew Language and Culture.

More than just a language course, Merkaz Ivrit offers a unique chance to improve your Hebrew in the most immersive and authentic manner. It's an experience that reshapes the way you learn and experience Hebrew and deepens your connection with Israel and its people.
