What Is Chitas?
Chabad.org
Chitas is a daily study program popular in many Jewish communities, particularly within Chabad-Lubavitch. The term 'Chitas' is an acronym derived from the program's three components: Chumash (the Five Books of Moses), Tehillim (Psalms), and Tanya (a foundational text of Chabad Hasidic philosophy). The practice involves studying a portion of each text daily, promoting spiritual growth and a deepened understanding of Jewish teachings. This structured routine offers participants a consistent way to engage with Torah study and Hasidic philosophy, cultivating a holistic blend of textual, emotional, and philosophical learning.
