That is a very interesting question!  I hope that people who live in 
Israel will write in to say whether classes in Hebrew institutes are 
actually (still?) available for Deaf immigrants to Israel.  The article 
does make it clear that these classes are for immigrants (not for Deaf 
people visiting Israel nor for Deaf people born in Israel).

Note:  An /ulpan/ is an institute or school for the intensive study of 
Hebrew.

For those who don't read Spanish, on page 64-65 of the PDF file it says:

Special Ulpan for teaching Hebrew
The division of adult education  maintains special programs for teaching 
Hebrew
   * Ulpan for blind people
   * Ulpan for Deaf people
   * Ulpan for mentally handicapped people
The classrooms of the ulpan are set up as necessary.

Rights:  one hour [of instruction] weekly per immigrant; the total of 
hours per week is equivalent to the number of immigrants in the 
classroom.  Period the offer is valid:  the immigrant has the right to 
[attend] the ulpan for a period of 3 years from the date of immigration.

Registration/Enrollment Procedures
[Register] through the integration coordinators (/rakazey klitá/) in the 
offices and branches of the Minister of Absorption [Integration?] 
closest to [your] home.
