Program Overview
The WUJS JLearn program is a deep and engaging Jewish studies experience. The Jerusalem Ulpan (Hebrew language) program coupled with extensive courses in Judaism and Zionism are all conducted in a pluralist, open minded environment. Our holistic educational approach incorporates time in the classroom, weekly field trips, overnight hikes, meetings with Israeli peers, volunteer options and a variety of fun and enriching activities. Many of the classes on the WUJS Jerusalem Learning program are taken at the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies, conveniently located a 5-minute walk away from the WUJS apartments. The amount of classes varies between the March and September sessions.
