Programs housed in the campus

Ulpan

Ulpan Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu is a Hebrew learning/work program on a Modern Orthodox kibbutz. Since 1968, thousands of young olim have started their lives in Israel on Ulpan Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu. Tourists experience an unforgettable 5 months in a unique part of the Land of Israel. The best way to learn Hebrew is to live the language. Students learn 24 hours a week in class and work 24 hours a week in one of the branches of our kibbutz with Israelis. Our teaching staff is part of and managed by the Israeli Ministry
of Education. We are a Jewish Agency and MASA program.

Students become part of our community, celebrating Shabbat and all holidays of the Jewish calendar. Ulpan Sde Eliyahu is both an Israeli and Jewish experience.

Michael Greenberg, the creator and donor of Habayta Campus was a student of the first Ulpan session on Sde Eliyahu.
