You go to ulpan. You learn rules, you do exercises, you build up vocabulary. And between classes, you have nothing to read: textbook passages are too short, Israeli books are too hard, and apps make you repeat isolated words.
Ulpan Story publishes what was missing: true stories, written for your level, that you actually want to finish. Hebrew on the left, your support on the right. Chapter after chapter, the support steps back.
On the last page, you read Hebrew with no vowels and no translation, the way it's written in Israel.
You don't switch books to make progress: the book changes as you read.
Step 1: the full translation, facing the Hebrew.
Step 2: the translation opens up. Hebrew words take the place of English ones, and you find them on the facing page.
Step 3: only the vocabulary of the page is left.
Step 4: the Hebrew loses its vowels. You read it the way people read it in Israel.

True stories, from the first chapter to the last. Every book is complete: no volume 2 to find out how it ends. Each title takes you through the whole journey again, from step 1 to step 4, with a new story and new vocabulary.

Heroes of Israel · Volume 1
Damascus, Marjeh Square, May 1965. All of Syria watches a man die, a man it believed to be one of its own. His name was Kamel Amin Thaabet. His name was Eli Cohen.
From a back street in Alexandria to the office of the Syrian chief of staff: the story of a man who became somebody else, and of the crack through which it all came apart.
