Torah is traditionally studied with a learning partner, a hevruta. Just as we are encouraged to consider Torah from many angles, we can invite another perspective into our learning by studying together. Some of the most praised hevruta teams among the ancient rabbis were known for bringing vastly different lived experiences and expertise to Torah text. Together, a hevruta pair can learn more about the texts, each other, and even themselves through open discussion.
