Watch the full video at https://go.jem.tv/StudyChitas Chitas is a Torah study program which combines a daily portion Chumash (the five books of Moses), Tehillim (Psalms), and Tanya (the seminal work of Chasidic teachings by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the first Rebbe of Chabad). The study cycle was instituted and promoted by the Previous Rebbe of Chabad, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson. His son-in-law and successor, the Rebbe, repeatedly urged his followers to adopt the custom, pointing to it as an auspicious way to elicit blessings from Above.
