Hevrutah study is the traditional Jewish practice of learning with a partner. Partners take turns reading a text aloud then embark on a journey of exploration and discussion, often including the views of commentators in the dialogue. They share reactions, formulate insights and partake in an exchange of ideas that encourages freedom of expression and stimulates creative thinking.
