Empowered Jewish Learning

Welcome to Hadar’s havruta learning platform, connecting study partners all over the globe.

TAKE OWNERSHIP OF YOUR JEWISH LEARNING

Jewish learning can be magical. But nobody goes at it alone. 

Havruta – that’s learning texts in pairs – makes Jewish ideas come alive. That’s why Project Zug provides self-guided course materials and will even match you with a havruta.

Ready to take the next step in your Jewish learning? You got this.

As part of your registration, you will share the name and email of your requested havruta. They will receive your invitation to complete their own registration. Once you have both registered, you'll receive your learning materials and can start the course!
