Through our continued partnership with Birthright Israel Onward, and with the generous support of The Phoenix Financial, Fellows from around the world joined Israeli educators to create meaningful summer learning experiences for children across Israel.

For the past 12 summers, TALMA has believed that learning doesn’t stop when the school year ends.

At a time when Israeli children need stability, confidence, and meaningful experiences more than ever, summer learning becomes about much more than keeping up with English. It becomes an opportunity to inspire curiosity, strengthen spoken English, build self-confidence, and create connections that continue long after the summer ends.

This summer, fellows and Israeli educators worked together across Jerusalem, Kiryat Ata, Kseifa, and Ben Shemen Youth Village , creating unforgettable learning experiences for thousands of students through spoken English, experiential learning, and cross-cultural connection.

As we conclude our 12th TALMA Summer Program, we are grateful to every fellow, educator, partner, municipality, and team member who helped turn English into something much bigger than a language-an opportunity to connect, grow, and create lasting change.

What happens when you say yes to a year of teaching in Israel?

For our Full Year Fellows, it becomes so much more than a job.
This year, 36 TALMA Fellows spent 10 months teaching across 42 schools in six communities - from Jerusalem to Eilat, Ashkelon to Sderot.

On our blog, two of them share what the year gave back to them:
✨ Tirtzah made Aliyah and found her place at Ben Shemen Youth Village, where an "Agree / Disagree / Neutral" game got even her shyest students debating — in English! This fall, she's stepping up as a Pedagogical Teacher Leader with TALMA.
🎨 Olia brought her English Through Art magic to Ashkelon, helping kids discover that English isn't just a subject - it's a living language that opens up the whole world.

Two very different paths. One shared discovery: community, purpose, and friendships that last long after the final bell. 🔔

Read their reflections and learn about the TALMA Full Year Fellowship

As the school year came to a close at the end of June, TALMA’s Full Year Fellows wrapped up 10 months of teaching, learning, and becoming part of school communities across Israel. Throughout the year, they supported students, collaborated with local educators, and experienced life in Israel in mea...

What happens when spoken English meets STEM? Doors open.

Last week at our "Speaking the Future" conference, we celebrated exactly that — students across Israel's periphery using English with confidence and reaching toward their futures. At the heart of the day was our partnership with משרד החדשנות, המדע והטכנולוגיה, built on a shared belief that and are keys to Israel's economic and social growth.

The impact in numbers:
🔹 40% average growth in spoken English (CEFR) in just 5 months
🔹 167% jump in learning groups this past year
🔹 From 6 to 12 municipalities — Sderot, Ashkelon, Kseifa, Rahat, Sakhnin and Maghar — reaching nearly 1,000 students

"English is a bridge - to opportunity, to knowledge, to innovation, and a bridge connecting Israel to the world. Between a student in Sderot or Kseifa and a scientist or researcher overseas. Especially in these complex times, that connection matters more than ever." — Ido Mahatzri, CEO of TALMA

"Research shows that participation in enrichment programs and STEM and spoken-English projects from a young age creates a profound change in young people's willingness and ability to enter technological pathways in the future." — Omer Shechter, Director General of משרד החדשנות, המדע והטכנולוגיה

A huge thank you to our speakers and partners: Eylon Levy; Dr. Lior Cohen (The Open University of Israel); Sergei Sumkin, PhD (Aaron Institute) ; Shani Edri-Amran (Ministry of Science); Tal Zigman (Cadence ); Guy Harel (Speax) and The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History for hosting us.
And to the team who made it happen: Shani Kfir Wolff, who masterfully organized the conference; Yuval Kelman, aka the best host in the world; Etelle Kalaora, for engaging content and thought-provoking interviews; and Shay Cherpanov, for moderating the panel like a pro. Big thanks to Rahav Productions for producing another great event, and to photographers Oz Schechter and Lior Demri .
