History of Ulpanim
Jeffrey May
First Ulpan Program: 1948 with the founding of the State of Israel
Goal of Ulpanim: "During Ulpan you will learn about and experience Israeli society, politics, and culture while getting to know those institutions, authorities, and agencies that you will be dealing with in the future”
Israel being a fairly new country filled with people immigrating from all over the world needed a lingua franca for all its inhabitants, Hebrew became this language
Goals
To reach out to a group of learners, primarily those with a connection to judaism or Israel, who are looking to learn the Hebrew language. This is not limited to any others who may also be interested in the language.
To show the success that the Ulpan has had in teaching a language that has never existed for conversational or literary purposes until the second half of the 19th century.
(Hebrew was considered a sacred language)
