The Academy of the Hebrew Language welcomes visitors!

Every year, dozens of groups of students, teachers, lecturers, and others visit the Academy. Most of the groups come for a two-hour visit consisting of a lecture and an information session on Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, a pioneer in the revival of spoken Hebrew.

The visitors are welcome to choose the topic of their lecture. Suggested topics include: issues that the Academy deals with; an overview of the Historical Dictionary Project and the Scientific Secretariat; an overview of the Academy’s Committees; and an introduction to the Academy’s databases. Visitors are welcome to suggest a custom topic that is more relevant to their group.

The information session about Eliezer Ben-Yehuda includes a brief introduction to the man and to the period in which he lived and worked, followed by a visit to Yad Ben-Yehuda – a room showcasing some of his original furniture, books, pictures, and certificates, as well as notes he prepared for his dictionary, including handwritten entries.

The visitors determine the length of the visit and its focus. The cost varies, depending on the length of the visit and the number of participants.
