NEW AT
ALMA: Hebrew Culture program in English
Alma invites non-Ivrit speakers to gain a unique and meaningful taste of the
Alma experience. Discover our fresh approach to engaging with Jewish sources, and to exploring the ideas and dilemmas affecting Israeli and Jewish identity today. Focusing on a specific cultural theme, each course offers a colourful mosaic of Jewish and Israeli perspectives and contexts, with every session shedding a different light on the theme at the heart of the course.
True to
Alma´s spirit, sessions will take the style of an informal Beit Midrash, breathing new life into this classic Jewish study method. Each course offers an opportunity to interact with a varied selection of Jewish and Israeli texts, both traditional and contemporary, guided by members of the
Alma faculty.
