there but he wanna make sure if they could offered courses for our
people (as me I am curious on it).

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).<br>

study of Hebrew.<br>

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

<ul>

</li>
<li>Ulpan for mentally handicapped people</li>
</ul>
The classrooms of the ulpan are set up as necessary.<br>
<br>
