London: learning Hebrew

In London, three new Hebrew study classes (ulpan) have been opened, organized by the Department for Aliyah Promotion of the World Zionist Organization. One of the ulpans is located at a synagogue in the St John’s Wood area, and the other two are at the Jewish Learning Exchange (JLE) Center for Jewish Education.

The Jewish Learning Exchange (JLE) empowers 21st-century youth and professionals in the UK to connect with their Jewish heritage through high-quality education and social programs. Founded in 1985, the JLE fosters a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where participants can explore Judaism’s relevance, deepen their knowledge, and make informed life decisions. Offering diverse initiatives across schools, universities, and its center, the JLE provides Shabbat hospitality, social events, and a sense of belonging while inspiring meaningful connections to Jewish identity and values.

The opening of ulpan programs at the Center for Training Young Jewish Leaders highlights the importance of nurturing a new generation of leaders for Jewish organizations and communities. This initiative, supported by the “Geula” project, aims to strengthen leadership and preserve Jewish cultural heritage.

Additionally, the program seeks to engage Jewish youth from Western countries, helping them reconnect with their roots, learn their language, and deepen their cultural ties. This effort is especially vital today, as antisemitism and support for Islamist terror rise across campuses and cities in Europe and North America.
