Religious and secular study partners learn together by phone once a week. Twenty minutes are enough to make the connection. About 16,000 people study today, and tens of thousands have taken part in the program in the past.

How it works

Participants choose what to study: Jewish history, ethics, halakha, philosophy and more. Books and booklets are sent on request. Participation is free of charge.

Who studies with whom

A trained staff matches partners by interests, age and more, and is available for questions, encouragement and study materials.

A conversation between people who would not otherwise meet

The study opens a conversation between religious and secular Israelis, with no need to agree. Over time it often becomes a friendship, and at times it extends to family members and friends.

Outside Israel too

Chavruta also reaches Israelis abroad, in Toronto, London, Berlin and other cities.
