Whether you are interested in leading a service at your next convention or need a refresher on your favourite ruach song, iDaven is here to help. USY’s Religion/Education's newest project, the iDaven project, features an extensive collection of Jewish recordings, including tefillot (prayers) and z’mirot (songs), put together exclusively by USYers. Each recording teaches the Hebrew words at a slow, easy-to-follow pace; making you an expert once you’re done. The database is updated regularly with new additions, so be sure to check back often.

To make for a rich Tikkun Leyl Shavuot experience, Limmud Chavruta Team volunteers have compiled Chavruta study materials on the theme of 'Revelation'. You can study these sources in pairs or in groups anywhere - at home, in a community building, in a coffee shop, or even outdoors, if the weather is good enough! And do share this with others or use them with your community. There are no 'right' or 'wrong' answers, simply enjoy the learning, knowing that fellow Limmudniks around the world are learning the same texts in their communities.

Voices & Visions is about art, about powerful messages, about combining them into posters, about starting conversations, about continuing the Jewish journey. In late 2012 Voices & Visions released its debut Masters Series. A collection of 18 images, the series pairs leading figures of contemporary art and design with powerful quotes from Jewish thinkers across the ages. Originally offered as a limited release, the Masters Series took off and is now being used by Jewish organizations around the world. Organizations have used the images to beautify their spaces, spark conversations, contribute to their curricula, and create new programming. The series is offered as a gift to organizations interested in using the images in their community space.
