PROJECT ZUG: FALL 2020 PARTNERED LEARNING
Project Zug is back! We're working with Hadar to once again support (online) Havruta study (partnered learning) in the CSI community. All are encouraged to participate, from seasoned Judaic scholars to first-time havruta study participants. Get matched with a study partner or choose your own, and select from a variety of topics including Bible, Philosophy, Prayer & Spirituality, Rabbinic Literature, Social Justice and more.
