About Us
Madrasa is about building communities who are able to communicate with each other.
Madrasa’s mission:
Our work creates a positive connection between the Arabic language and society in Israel that forms the basis for better communication between various groups in our society.
Madrasa’s vision:
To make Arabic a common denominator, and turn Israeli society into one where all members can genuinely communicate with each other.
Madrasa’s story:
Co-founders Gilad Sevitt and Daniel Dotan met in 2011 and began to discuss their dream of improving communications in their region. They devised a method of teaching unlike others, where short videos taught key words and phrases. Initially only online, Madrasa was born. As the student base grew, in person meet-ups were added which allowed students to practice what they were learning. Now Madrasa teaches Israelis of all ages, in various classes, courses and projects.
