Kibbutz Ulpan Ma’agan Michael has been operating since 1958, and today over 25% of the members of Ma’agan Michael are Kibbutz Ulpan graduates. The Ulpan is a central part of the identity of Kibbutz Ma’agan Michael and is the biggest Kibbutz Ulpan, hosting 60 to 72 participants each session.
The kibbutz is located 65 kilometers north of Tel Aviv and 35 kilometers south of Haifa on the Mediterranean coast. Come see this highly attractive location!

All rooms sleep three people. All rooms include a shower room and a small kitchen.
The participants are in charge of cleaning their own rooms. Once a month there’s a room check, so you’d better tidy up those beds! 😊
You will receive a monthly allowance for meals.
All other expenses are the responsibility of the participant.
The kibbutz supplies three meals each weekday (a value of 25 NIS per meal).
On weekends (Friday and Saturday), the kibbutz supplies two meals a day.
The allowance you receive is sufficient for all meals, but if you wish to purchase food at the local shop, you may do so at your own expense.
Ulpan classes take place Sunday through Thursday (Friday and Saturday are days off).
Some weeks, classes take place in the morning from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. while on other weeks they are in the afternoon between 13:00 p.m. and 17:10 p.m.
Work days are Sunday through Thursday. Friday is a work day every other week.
The different types of work available on Ma’agan Michael are: the communal kitchen, the manufacturing plants, gardening, child minding, the fish pools, packaging houseware, the animal farm, and more.
Ulpan studies are conducted according to Ministry of Education curriculum.
Your working/studying day will finish at 17:00 p.m. After that, it’s your spare time! You can then rest, do your homework, hang out with your friends or join the different informal activities. These activities are mostly not compulsory, but they are highly recommended!
The weekend is your time to relax and explore! You can visit family or friends outside the kibbutz.
The local pub is the place to get together in the evenings! It’s near the housing area. Making social connections is all up to you. The friendly people you meet while working provide a great opportunity to make friends. 😊 The kibbutz also hosts cultural events and often celebrates the Jewish holidays together.
Kibbutz Ulpan across all the kibbutzim is the same price and costs $6,500 for the full five months. This cost includes: Ulpan classes, housing and meals (unless stated otherwise in “Meals”), and guided tours and activities operated by Kibbutz Ulpan.
As a Masa Israel-sponsored program, you may be eligible for a Masa grant that may cover up to 50% of the program tuition. Contact us to find out more!

Generally, our participants come to Israel as tourists, and if they are eligible, they can benefit from a Masa Israel Journey Grant/Scholarship, and significantly reduce the program cost. Once they have finished the program, they can begin their Aliyah process with a much better Hebrew level.
