What is Project Zug?

Project Zug creates self-guided text study courses for learning in pairs. No need to show up to a live class — you and your havruta (study partner) set the schedule, pace and location for your learning.

Our courses span a wide range of Jewish topics, texts, and skill levels. Courses run 4–10 sessions and include engaging instructor videos and thoughtfully crafted study sheets.

Whether you're experienced in Jewish text study or just starting out, Project Zug has a course — and a havruta — for you.

Looking for a havruta?

Want to learn but don’t have a study partner? Join a Project Zug learning cycle—we’ll match you with a havruta.

How it works:

  1. Choose a course and register during the current learning cycle. Tell us a bit about your interests so we can find a great match.
  2. We pair you with a havruta and send you both the course and each other’s contact info.
  3. Set a time to learn together and get started (we recommend about an hour a week).

Already have a havruta?
You can sign up anytime, invite your partner, and start learning right away—no need to wait for the cycle.

Project Zug offers four learning cycles each year—set times when we match learners who are looking for a havruta. 

Join an upcoming cycle to be paired with a study partner and start learning together.
