    Project Zug at the Rosen Library:

    For centuries, Jews have engaged in study “hevruta-style”: working in pairs and reaping the benefits of different viewpoints and from the excitement and engagement of a study partner. The Rosen Library is partnering with Project Zug, a national initiative from Hadar Institute that supports paired hevruta learning, as our first step in making the Rosen Library a learning hub for Temple Emanu-El.
