Have you always wanted to learn Arabic but never knew where to start?
The Abraham Initiatives, along with Ameinu, Habonim Dror North America, Habonim Dror Camping Association, Partners for Progressive Israel and Hashomer Hatzair USA are excited to invite you to the Arabic as a Cultural Bridge Course!
Language is the soul of a culture, a pathway to the heart, a landscape of the mind. We are here because we are all working towards the same cause of an equal and shared society. Wouldn't learning a little bit of Arabic help along the way?
Usually run for Hebrew-speaking journalists, municipal leaders, social workers, and academic staff, this three-day intensive offers a unique opportunity for our English speaking community to encounter the Arabic language and begin developing a deeper understanding of Arab society.
