Online Palestinian Arabic
“I took online Palestinian Arabic lessons with Saja, and from the start, she understood my goals perfectly. I wanted to focus on everyday conversational skills, and Saja tailored a well-structured series of lessons to meet my needs. Thanks to her approach, I was able to achieve my objectives quickly. Saja made learning Arabic enjoyable and engaging, and I highly recommend her. I’m now looking forward to my in-person visit next year.

A Meaningful Journey
“Salam! I’m Rebekah from New York. I came to volunteer in Hebron in October 2024, drawn by my interest in Palestinian culture and history. This volunteer experience has been incredibly meaningful, hearing firsthand from those living under occupation and gaining a better understanding of Palestinian life in the West Bank, especially amid the situation in Gaza. Hebron has felt like a warm, safe home, with wonderful accommodations and a supportive community at the center. From shared meals to Arabic classes and local excursions, everyone here goes out of their way to help. I highly recommend volunteering with the Excellence Center to anyone interested in Palestine. — Rebekah, USA
