Project Zug creates self-guided courses for learning Jewish texts in pairs.
Instead of attending a class, you and your partner set your own schedule, pace, and place, and learn through guided study and conversation.
Our courses include engaging instructor videos and thoughtfully designed study sheets to help you dive deep into primary texts—whether you’re new to Jewish learning or more experienced.
We can match you with a study partner (havruta) or you can bring your own.
Registration for the Summer Cycle is open! Choose a self-paced course and learn on your own schedule —wherever summer takes you.
Try our newest course, Entering the Covenant by Rabbi Tali Adler, or browse all courses to find the right fit.
