כל ישראל ערבים זה לזה

A home for
Klal Yisrael.

Find your chavrusa. Find your mentor.
Find your people.

Every Jew has a place at the table.
✦
A chavrusa
Someone to learn with — Chumash, Gemara, Tanya, anything. We'll introduce you.
✦
A mentor
A rebbi, a rebbetzin, someone who's been where you are. A guide, not a stranger.
✦
A chabura
A small group learning together — a shiur, a seder, a room where you're known.

Three doorways, one home.

Every Jew comes in for a reason. These are ours. The rest of Chevrusa101 — the people, the conversations, the community — grows from these three roots.

i.
A chavrusa for what you're learning.

Tell us what you'd love to learn — Gemara b'iyun, daf yomi, Chumash with Rashi, Mishnah, Halacha, Chassidus, Tanya, anything. Your level. Your schedule. Your language.

We introduce you to someone you'll learn well with. You meet on video, in person if you're close, or by phone. Sefaria is right there in the session, both Hebrew and English. And if it doesn't click — no offense, no pressure, we try again.

ii.
A mentor who's been where you are.

Every Jew, at some point, needs a guide. A rebbi to ask a shailoh. A rebbetzin who understands. A father of five when yours are little. A BT who remembers. A rov, a therapist-adjacent friend, a shidduch mentor for your parents.

Our mentors introduce themselves in their own voice, not as resumes. There are no five-star reviews. When it works, mentees share a private thank-you that can — with permission — be shown publicly as an endorsement. No more, no less.

iii.
A chabura where you're known by name.

Start a small group — a weekly Tanya shiur, a mesechta with three friends, a chabura on parasha. Or join one that's already going. Two to eight people, meeting on a schedule, on video, with real texts on the screen.

And if you're a rebbi or maggid shiur, share your shiur openly. Chevrusa101 surfaces it to the learners it fits — never algorithmically boosted, never sponsored, never sold.

A social platform that keeps Shabbos.

Most platforms optimize for time on app. Chevrusa101 optimizes for time with your people. That's a design choice, and it's visible everywhere.

✦
The platform keeps Shabbos.
From your local candle-lighting to your local havdalah, Chevrusa101 rests with you. No posting, no notifications, no nudges. A soft "gut Shabbos" is the only thing you'll see.
✦
All Jews equal, no exceptions.
There is no denomination field. No level-of-observance dropdown. No algorithmic sorting by hashkafa. A Reform Jew in Minneapolis and a Satmar chossid in Kiryas Yoel are equally Chevrusa101.
✦
No algorithm. No trending. No feed.
You see what your people said, in the order they said it. That's it. Nothing is boosted, nothing is hidden, and the loudest voice does not win.
✦
No ads. Ever.
Not on the free tier, not on the paid tier, not ever. Chevrusa101 is funded by members who choose to pay and mosdos who license it. That's the whole business.
✦
No follower counts.
You know who your people are. Nobody else needs to. There is no popularity score on Chevrusa101, and no way to become "big" here. Only known.
✦
A real human welcomes you.
When you join, someone writes you a note within a day. Not a bot. Not a template. Someone who cares to say hello and hear what brought you.
A promise

Chevrusa101 rests with you.
See you at havdalah.

שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים תַּעֲבֹד וְעָשִׂיתָ כָּל־מְלַאכְתֶּךָ

From your local candle-lighting to your local havdalah, your account rests. You can still read what's there, but the platform will not act on your behalf. This is what "no shabbos violations" means, in code.

A first week on Chevrusa101.

No games, no gimmicks. Just the steps that get you from a stranger at the door to a Jew with a chavrusa, a mentor, and a chabura.

i.
Sign in and say who you are.
Your name, your city, a few words in your own voice about who you are and what you'd love to learn. That's the whole onboarding. No survey. No demographic form. Under two minutes.
ii.
Someone real writes you hello.
Within a day, a human on Chevrusa101 — early on, that's Boruch personally — sends you a short note. Not a form. Not a checklist. Just: welcome, glad you're here, tell me what brought you.
iii.
We introduce you to a chavrusa.
Based on what you're learning and when you're free, we suggest someone. You look at their bio. If it feels right, you say hello. If not, we try again. No streaks, no scoring — just an introduction that either lands or doesn't.
iv.
You settle into a chabura.
Browse the chaburos and open shiurim. Join one. Or start your own — three friends, a mesechta, a weekly seder. You'll be known there, and known quickly.

Some things we're not.

A platform is defined as much by what it refuses as by what it offers. These aren't launch positioning — they're permanent commitments.

✦
We will never run ads.
✦
We will never sell your data.
✦
We will never rank Jews or rebbeim publicly.
✦
We will never nudge you with streaks or badges.
✦
We will never favor one hashkafa over another.
✦
We will never operate on your behalf during your Shabbos.
✦
We will never use lashon hara as a business model.
✦
We will never let a design choice override a Jewish value.
אחדות ישראל

A short note on why this exists.

Most of the internet is not a good home for a Jew right now. The mainstream feeds have become uncomfortable, sometimes hostile, and — even setting aside recent history — they were never designed with Jewish life in mind. They don't know from Shabbos. They don't understand a yahrtzeit. They surface content optimized for outrage, not for kavod. They are, to put it plainly, someone else's house.

Meanwhile, our real communities live scattered across WhatsApp groups, texted PDFs, forwarded voice notes, and the seven separate apps a serious learner has to juggle to keep up with a chavrusa, a shiur, and a chabura. It works. But it works the way a house works when everyone lives in a different room and shouts through the walls.

Chevrusa101 is the room where the walls come down. It's built for the way Jewish life actually happens: Torah at the center, mentors on the wall, chavrusos at the table, and everyone's calendar organized around the same Shabbos.

It's not a network. It's a home. And every Jew has a place at the table.
