Welcome to the homepage of the Rabbinical Assembly Hevruta Study Project.
Here you will find information  about the project, learning schedules as well as resources to help you in your study.

About the Project:
This project is sponsored by the Rabbinical Assembly in partnership with the Rabbinical School of the Jewish Theological Seminary and the Zeigler School of Rabbinic Studies at the American Jewish University
This project will culminate with a siyum at the 2010 Rabbinical Assembly convention in May which will take place at The Jewish Theological Seminary. For those unable to attend convention, the siyum will also be broadcast over the web allowing for all colleagues wishing to participate to do so.
