Havrut (also Havrus , Hebrew חַבְרוּתָא , from Aramaic “friendship”, “partnership”) is a traditional way of studying the Talmud (or other classical books of Judaism) in pairs or small groups [1] . Partners not only read the text, but also discuss it, ask questions, object, clarifying and deepening their understanding. "Hawrut" is also called a workmate [2] .
Havrut, as a rule, consists of a yeshiva or a kolel of people at approximately the same level of study; they move together at their own pace.
