Ideally, this study should be done in groups – for example, during the farbrengens.
New!
It is natural, according to the nature that Hashem instilled in us (not due to any sin or lack, G-d forbid), to be further attracted, excited and so on, regarding something that is brand new. (Parshas Vayeitzei 5749; Hisvaaduyos, p. 405; and Hashlomos, p. 410)

... Especially now that it is far easier to study the teachings of the Rebbe who is associated with the current day of Kislev, since a new book [of his teachings] has recently been printed … Although the discourses [in that particular book] do not coincide with our current parshah, nevertheless, since the material in the book is drawn from all of the parshios and all Torah subjects, you need but open it and make a cursory perusal to immediately realize (in the spirit of the verse, taamu u’re’u, “taste and see”; simply study and experience for yourself) that you are able to find teachings that relate to the current parshah and even the current portion of Rambam (the “Laws of Loaning”). Further, it is all explained in the expansive manner that was characteristic of the Mitteler Rebbe. (Tenth of Kislev 5748; Hisvaaduyos, p. 580)
Before we conclude, we will again remind everyone about the study of the new discourses that have only recently been printed; the discourse padah veshalom of the tenth of Kislev and of the nineteenth of Kislev and so forth. (Parshas Vayishlach 5749; Hisvaaduyos, p. 446)
From the Avos
We should study a “vort,” a short saying from the teachings of all “three fathers” of chassidus: the Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid and the Alter Rebbe. Whoever can manage more should also study the teachings of all other Chabad Rebbeim. (Night of Rosh Chodesh Kislev 5749; Hisvaaduyos, p. 375)
On every day in Kislev, we should study an extra topic from the teachings of Chassidus – preferably in groups. Ideally, we should study a teaching from all “three fathers” of chassidus... (Parshas Toldos 5749; Hisvaaduyos, p. 384)
Blessings for spreading chassidus
Surely, we will all add much to the directives being discussed – for it is the nature of a Jew to wish to add something of his own .... in so doing, we become “partners with G-d in Creation” … in this case, too, everyone will add to the directives mentioned here on their own initiative. Whoever speaks to their fellows – men to other men and women to other women – and inspires them to increase their study of chassidus will be blessed! (Night of Rosh Chodesh Kislev 5749; Hisvaaduyos, p. 375)
