 Location
Ulpan Etzion Absorption Center is located among lovely tree-lined streets in Jerusalem's quaint southern neighborhood of Baka.
Ulpan Etzion, Israel's first ulpan, was established in 1949 in Jerusalem by the Jewish Agency and the Ministry of Education, and has since welcomed tens of thousands of new immigrants.
Catering to young adult new immigrants from academic and professional backgrounds, the Absorption Center’s halls are abuzz in a variety of languages, with the comings and goings of people from around the world. The new immigrants are given the opportunity for social networking, Hebrew study and a supportive initiation into Israeli life and society.
Accommodation
The complex consists of a few charming old Jerusalem stone buildings, surrounded by trees and gardens. It includes a dining room, dorm rooms, classrooms and other educational and cultural facilities. Two to three occupants share a room which includes minimal furnishings. Bathroom and shower facilities are located on separate men and women's floors. Each floor is equipped with a small kitchenette. Participants are required to provide their own personal items, such as linen, pillows, blankets, dishes and utensils. Space is limited. The dining room serves two kosher meals a day (lunch and dinner) at scheduled times, with an option for vegetarian food. |
