TTC is a weekly course, starting May 22, which is part of a five-month Ulpan. TTC is geared specifically for educated, motivated 'Olim', high-tech students and professionals. Meet and network with peers in Israel who share your interests, enjoy the services of a dedicated staff and mentors to guide you, and take advantage of the thriving economy and pleasant residential atmosphere of the city of Haifa. You will be participating in a specially designed and focused experience created to prepare the members of the group to successfully enter Israeli society and settle down. I will be doing everything I possibly can to prepare you for your chosen new life in this young, dynamic, baffling and complicated country. We will be looking together at many aspects of life in Israel primarily targeting job hunting - including how to present yourself, write a CV and cover-letter, interviews, email, presentations, meetings and more - and exploring employment opportunities in various fields especially hi - tech and IT.

A story
A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree.
"That's for me, as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree.
"Good day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How well you are looking today: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds."
The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox.
"That will do," said he. "That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future: "Do not trust flatterers."
