Ben-Yehuda House
The International Meeting Center
Beit Ben-Yehuda consists of two main buildings: a new building that contains most of the facilities, and the adjacent historical family home of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, who created modern Hebrew (Ivrit), the everyday language of Israel.
The facility is associated with Aktion Sühnezeichen Friedensdienste (ASF), a volunteer organization based in Germany based on confronting Nazism.
The International Meeting Center provides a welcoming forum for intercultural meetings between Israelis and international visitors. It offers a variety of seminars, programs, language courses and accommodations for all age groups, families and individual guests.
Our programs tackle social, political, historical, cultural and religious issues with a focus on the causes and effects of National Socialism. We also address the conflict in the Middle East, as well as German-Israeli and Christian-Jewish relations in the past and present. The seminars offer experiences hearing from Holocaust survivors, social workers, authors and lecturers.
Beit Ben-Yehuda offers reservable seminar rooms, fully equipped with technology and seating.
The Guesthouse welcomes individual guests, families, and groups of up to 48 people. The professional and multilingual staff offer support in planning and organizing your stay in Jerusalem and Israel.
Sightseeing tours are available, per request.
