What Is Chitas?

Chitas (or Chitat) refers to a daily practice of studying three Jewish texts: Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya. These texts are considered to be basic and essential for the spiritual growth and development of a Jew, and their daily study was instituted by the Sixth Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Shneersohn, of righteous memory. The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, encouraged this regimen and also added the daily study of Maimonides’ Mishneh Torah—either three chapters daily, or one chapter daily, or in a parallel study of Sefer Hamitzvot (Book of Commandments).
