Celebrating the Impact of Chitas Study
The release of Daily Studies In Chitas – The Schottenstein Edition is not only a milestone for Chayenu but also a celebration for individuals and communities because of the profound impact that Chitas study has on its learners’ lives and the myriad of blessings it brings.
“Chitas has always been a cornerstone of Torah study for a Lubavitcher. The Rebbe said that the study of Chitas is “שווה לכל נפש” – relevant and suitable to every person (see page xviii of the foreword). The Daily Studies In Chitas – Schottenstein Edition represents a major step forward in making these studies more accessible to those of whom English is their first language,” said Rabbi Itzick Yarmush, Chayenu’s editor-in-chief. “We are thrilled to offer this resource to learners worldwide and to support their journey in understanding and living with Chitas.”
Rabbi Yossi Pels, Chayenu’s Executive Director, adds: “The idea of Divine Protection is central to the theme of Chitas (see page xxiii of the foreword). It is only befitting that this new volume is available at this time when our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisroel are going through a challenging time. With Hashem’s help, by making Chitas שווה לכל נפש – suitable, and now available to everyone, we will go and greet Moshiach Tzidkeinu with the Daily Studies In Chitas.”
David and Eda Schottenstein, who have been the visionaries behind the project and taken it under their wings, add: “Chitas has become a central part of our lives and daily routine and we feel so privileged and grateful to be part of such an important project with Chayenu and Kehos.”
