Igrot Kodesh · Letter 1010 — Chinuch

By the grace of Hashem,
16 Iyar 5711,
Brooklyn,

To the student of the yeshiva*, Shmuel Menachem Mendel[1],

Greetings and blessings,

You ask me about the study of Chumash* with Rashi*'s commentary[2]. Generally, we have the custom to study it during the day, but if this has not been possible, one will complete it during the following night.

I have never heard that the three studies of Chumash*, Tehillim*, and Tanya* must be learned precisely in this order.

With my blessing that you settle yourself fittingly, materially and spiritually,

Notes

[2] Within the framework of the daily studies of Chumash*, Tehillim*, and Tanya*, instituted by the previous Rebbe. Is it possible to study Chumash* at night, although it is then forbidden to learn the Written Law?
