Hadar's Project Zug

Self-guided courses for learning in pairs - on your schedule, at your pace.

ACCESSIBLE jewish learning that fits your schedule

Study Jewish texts with a havruta (learning partner) or small group at your pace, on your schedule. Our 30+ courses span a variety of Jewish topics. Weekly instructor videos and study sheets guide you on a meaningful learning journey. 

Whether you are seasoned in Jewish text study, or you’re just starting out, Project Zug has a course for you. Our courses empower you to engage directly with traditional Jewish texts and provide thought-provoking discussion questions to spark rich conversations. 

Need a havruta? We can pair you with another learner during one of our learning cycles.
Have a havruta already? You can register any time and start your course right away.
