Garinim | Intro to Prep 2026

UJEB PLANTING THE SEEDS FOR THE FUTURE

Garinim (meaning Seeds in Hebrew) is a pathway to prep program developed exclusively for children who will be attending public schools for Prep in 2026.

Hebrew Immersion Program

Hebrew Immersion Program, or HIP, is currently running in 5 different government schools around Victoria, between 1-3 times a week. Students will learn about Israeli culture, and learn Hebrew in a dynamic learning environment that will leave them able to continue studying at a secondary school level.

HIP Online – twice a week + Learn from anywhere – no prior hebrew knowledge needed. 

This engaging program offers a dynamic Hebrew language education, designed to foster a love for the language and build confidence in reading, writing, and essential speaking skills.

Jewish Life (JL)

The Jewish Life programme at UJEB is hinged on the understanding that Jewish life is deeply rooted in a rich tapestry of values that emphasise community, tradition, and spiritual growth. Central to this is the celebration of Shabbat,Chaggim, and all the Jewish holidays, which bring families and communities together in shared rituals and festivities.

Dovrei Ivrit | דּוֹבְרֵי עִבְרִית

תָּכְנִית דּוֹבְרֵי הָעִבְרִית נוֹלְדָה מִתּוֹךְ הַהֲבָנָה שֶׁעִבְרִית אֵינָהּ רַק שָׂפָה – הִיא לֵב פּוֹעֵם שֶׁל זֶהוּת, זִכָּרוֹן וְתַרְבּוּת


הַשָּׂפָה הָעִבְרִית מְחַבֶּרֶת יְלָדִים לָעוֹלָם הַיְּהוּדִי וְהַיִּשְׂרְאֵלִי דֶּרֶךְ דִּבּוּר, קְרִיאָה וּכְתִיבָה – וּמְאַפְשֶׁרֶת לָהֶם לְבַטֵּא אֶת עַצְמָם מִתּוֹךְ שַׁיָּכוּת, הֲבָנָה וְגַאֲוָה


הַתָּכְנִית שָׂמָה דָּגֵשׁ עַל חֲוָיַת לְמִידָה עֲשִׁירָה, יִשְׂרְאֵלִית וְאוֹתֶנְטִית, הַמְּשַׁלֶּבֶת שִׂיחַ, חַגִּים, שִׁירִים, סִפּוּרִים וּתְכָנִים עַכְשָׁוִיִּים – וְהַכֹּל בְּעִבְרִית חַיָּה וְתוֹסֶסֶת
