Learning and Study Practices for Yud-Tes Kislev

Learning for Today

• Today we begin studying the Tanya anew, following the division for a shanah me’uberes (a leap year).
• We also begin studying Hayom Yom anew.

In a letter to someone who asked what to study on Yud-Tes Kislev, the Rebbe wrote that he should study the Alter Rebbe’s teachings, namely—Chassidus Chabad. This can be done by studying either the Alter Rebbe’s own sefarim (such as Tanya, Torah Or, and Likkutei Torah), or the maamarim and sichos of the Rebbeim (which explain his teachings).

The Rebbe once said that today’s learning should begin with texts that explain the greatness of Yud-Tes Kislev, starting with the letter of the Rebbe Rashab printed in the beginning of Hayom Yom.
