The Zohar teaches: "Hashem looked into the Torah and created the world." Torah is not merely a book of laws — it is the Divine blueprint of reality. At Chabad Park, we study Torah with the fire of Chassidut, revealing the infinite light hidden in every letter.
Every Shabbat, we gather to learn the weekly Torah portion. The Rebbe taught that each Parasha contains a personal message for every Jew, relevant to that very week. Together with the insights of Rashi, Rambam, and the Rebbe's Likkutei Sichos, the Parasha comes alive.
The Talmud is the vast ocean of Torah SheBaal Peh — the Oral Torah transmitted from Moshe Rabbeinu at Sinai. Through Gemara, Mishnah, and Halacha, we sharpen our minds and connect to the unbroken chain of Torah learning.
Chassidut is the "soul of Torah" — the inner dimension revealed by the Baal Shem Tov and transmitted through the Rebbeim of Chabad. Through Tanya, Maamarim, and the Rebbe's Sichos, we discover how to serve Hashem with joy, transform our middot, and reveal the G-dliness hidden in every aspect of creation.
The Rebbe revolutionized Torah study by making it accessible to every Jew, regardless of background. Through his Sichos (talks), Maamarim (Chassidic discourses), and letters, the Rebbe illuminated every aspect of Torah — from the simple meaning of a Rashi commentary to the deepest secrets of Kabbalah.
At Chabad Park, we follow the Rebbe's daily study schedule: Chumash with Rashi (daily portion), Tehillim (Psalms divided by day of the month), Tanya (daily portion as set by the Alter Rebbe), and Rambam (3 chapters daily or 1 chapter of Sefer HaMitzvot).
The Rebbe taught: "Torah study must lead to action — every piece of Torah we learn should inspire us to add another mitzvah, another act of goodness."
Join our weekly study programs in Hadera:
Talmud Torah (תלמוד תורה) — the study of Torah — is considered the greatest mitzvah in Judaism. The Talmud teaches: 'Torah study is equal to all the other mitzvot combined' (Mishnah Peah 1:1). According to Chabad teaching, Torah study is not merely intellectual exercise — it is a connection to Hashem's infinite wisdom. When a person studies Torah, they are studying the 'mind of G-d.'
Each week, a specific section of the Five Books of Moses (Chumash) is read publicly in synagogue on Shabbat morning, as well as on Monday and Thursday. The entire Torah is divided into 54 portions (Parashiyot), completing the annual cycle on Simchat Torah. The Rebbe encouraged every Jew to study the weekly Parasha — at minimum one verse per day — connecting the entire Jewish people through shared learning.
Chitas is a Chabad daily study program instituted by the Previous Rebbe (Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn) in 1942. It stands for: Chumash (weekly Torah portion), Tehillim (Psalms, divided monthly), and Tanya (Chabad's foundational text). The Rebbe strongly encouraged completing Chitas every single day, calling it a 'protective shield' for the day.
Daf Yomi (דף יומי) — 'Daily Page' — is a program of daily Talmud study in which participants study one folio (daf) of the Babylonian Talmud per day, completing the entire Talmud (2,711 dapim) in approximately 7.5 years. Instituted by Rabbi Meir Shapiro in 1923, it is observed by hundreds of thousands of Jews worldwide.
Tanya (תניא) is the foundational text of Chabad Chassidic philosophy, authored by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (the Alter Rebbe) and published in 1797. Its full title is 'Likutei Amarim' (Collected Teachings). Tanya provides a systematic guide to the soul, the path of the Beinoni (intermediate person), Divine unity, and the practical service of Hashem. The Rebbe called the Tanya 'the Written Torah of Chassidus.'
Begin with the weekly Parasha — read it in Hebrew and English (or your language). Chabad.org offers free daily Torah study content. The Tanya is available with English commentary. Local Chabad Houses worldwide offer free Torah classes for all levels. The Rebbe taught: 'Even one Torah verse a day is invaluable.'
The Rebbe taught: "When you help another Jew study Torah, it is as if you studied it yourself." Your tzedakah sustains Torah learning in Hadera.
