Synagogues

We partner with synagogues and minyanim of all sizes and across denominations. Courses may be facilitated by a rabbi, educator or lay person, or studied independently by paired community members or small groups.

Our congregational partners use Project Zug to:

> Offer seasonal classes on a topic or theme of interest.

> Facilitate havruta learning among congregants - creating a Beit Midrash or helping members engage in independent havruta learning.

> Enhance cohort experiences. Members of a hesed committee can learn “Visiting the Sick” or Hebrew School parents can learn “The Balancing Act: Being a Jewish Parent.”

> Make havruta learning available to Hebrew school teens.

You will designate someone at your congregation as the primary point of contact (Project Zug Admin) who will collaborate with the Project Zug Director ([email protected]) to tailor a learning program that fits your community’s needs and interests. Click here to complete the interest form.

Partner Spotlight

Congregation Shir Hadash (Los Gatos, CA) has been using Project Zug for years to provide text-based learning that deepens relationships among their members. Each season, a group of congregants studies a new course together and, with their annual/unlimited subscription, all congregants can take any Project Zug course and learn independently with a fellow community member. The adult education chair serves as the main point of contact, collaborating with the Project Zug director to coordinate learning opportunities. Shir Hadash has also hosted Hadar scholars-in-residence, including R. Shai Held and R. Elie Kaunfer, and have run Project Zug orientations to further enrich the community's adult learning.
