Rabbi Shneur Zlaman of Liadi (1745-1812), founder of the Chabad movement, said that one should "live with the times." This phrase refers to living in accordance with the Torah portion that corresponds to the day of the week.

Each parashah – section – is divided into seven portions that are read on Shabbat. Each day of the week, one of these portions is studied: the first on Sunday, the second on Monday, and so on.

In addition, the Chabad rebeim established that one should study the psalm chapters corresponding to the day of the current month, along with a portion of the book Tanya, which is also divided according to the days of the year.

This study is commonly known as JiTaT, the initials being Chumash (the five books of Moshe), Tehilim (psalms) and Tanya.

In addition, each person should have their own particular study time, beyond the general study time for the entire Jewish people.

To facilitate access to these texts, we provide a link where you can find each one. Currently available in Spanish are the Rambam (Book of Precepts) and the Tanya, both with their respective study calendars.

Even if a person did not start studying at the beginning of the year, it is still appropriate and good to start studying in the middle of the cycle.

The Link: Daily Study.

May this effort of translation, organization, and availability serve to bring closer the coming of our Righteous Messiah, when "The earth will be filled with the knowledge of God, as the waters cover the sea.".
