The Tanya (1796), by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, is the central text of Chabad Chassidus — a comprehensive guide to the inner life of the Jewish soul. The daily cycle ensures Jews worldwide study the same passage on the same day.

In 1984 the Lubavitcher Rebbe instituted a global cycle: three chapters per day completes the entire Mishneh Torah in one year, uniting Jews worldwide in synchronized study of all Jewish law.

For those who prefer a measured pace, one chapter per day completes the Mishneh Torah over approximately three years with deeper engagement per chapter. Both cycles run simultaneously worldwide.

Hayom Yom (“From Day to Day”) is an anthology of Chassidic aphorisms arranged by day of the Jewish year, compiled by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Each entry is a brief but profound teaching for daily life.

The Omer count runs 49 days from the second night of Passover through the eve of Shavuot, connecting the Exodus from Egypt to the Giving of the Torah. Each day corresponds to one of the 49 combinations of the seven divine attributes (Sefirot).
