Hevrutah: The traditional Jewish practice of studying the Torah with a partner or group. Rooted in the Hebrew word for “friend” (haver), hevrutah describes the collective and peer-guided approach to learning and interpreting biblical texts. With a hevrutah, the act of reciting is animated by critical thinking and intergenerational exchange. See Brothers Sick whose practice is informed by collaborative Torah exegesis to underscore contemporary experiences of illness and disability.
