Many said, “It cannot be done!” Making a Chitas that includes all of Chumash, Tehillim and Tanya in one book, was already a “crazy” idea. “So much information in a book, and I will be able to carry it around and actually read the words?” everyone asked. And here, we are doing all that with English translation. “It cannot be done! You must mean another iteration of ‘the Chitas,’ but wait, doesn’t this exist already?”
After years in the making, with numerous obstacles that had to be surmounted, Daily Studies In Chitas – The Schottenstein Edition is finally here.
All In One. One For All. Shavah Lechol Nefesh is a Reality.
For the first time, all of Chumash and Rashi, in Hebrew and English, are in one book. The Daily Studies In Chitas goes further by also including Tehillim, Tanya, and Hayom Yom in Hebrew and English. On top of this, it has an Annotated Siddur with clear English instructions for more meaningful prayers. 13 books in 1.
This versatile sefer—all 2838 pages—will allow you to find the daily learning quickly, understand what you are reading, and complete your study. The manageable size of 9×6 and the soft binding will make it easy to carry around. And the beautiful design will make you a proud owner.
You want to learn Chitas. You open your Chitas to the daily learning, and the Hebrew words stare silently before you. You want to understand what you are reading, but it’s a challenge. You want to connect, but there needs to be comprehension. Daily Studies In Chitas – The Schottenstein Edition is here to solve this way-too-often predicament.
Now, in honor of Gimmul Tamuz, a day of connection to the Rebbe and a day of recommitment to the Rebbe’s directives, especially the directive to learn Chitas, the answer is at your finger-tips.
The Rebbe always stressed that Chitas study is “suitable for every person” (shavah lechol nefesh). With this revolutionary new book, Daily Studies In Chitas – The Schottenstein Edition, the Rebbe’s words echo to a much larger audience.
