"Room" one hundred and thirty-two in the hall of Hayom Yom.
Thursday, 3 Nissan 5703.
Shiurim: Chumash, Tazria, Chamishi, with the commentary of Rashi.
Tehillim, 3rd of the month, from chapter 18 to chapter 22 inclusive.
Tanya, still in chapter 39. The daily shiur begins with the words "vehaynu afilu", on page 106, and concludes on the same page with the words "kemo shekatuv lekaman".
The daily teaching is taken from a diary recorded by the Rebbe, things he heard from his father-in-law, the Rebbe Rayatz, on several occasions. In the diary itself, these matters appear twice, on two different days, and here the Rebbe gathers and generally summarizes the study shiurim - mainly the daily ones - of the Rebbe Rashab, and his daily routine of regular study.
And so he says: "From the shiurim of my father, my master and teacher". What were the shiurim of the Rebbe Rashab? First thing: "Every day a parshah of Chumash with the commentary of Rashi" - every day he learned a parshah of Chumash with Rashi's commentary. And when saying "a parshah of Chumash" - as we already encountered this expression on 19 Teves, in the wording of the Alter Rebbe's takanah to learn a parshah of Chumash with Rashi's commentary every day - the intention is obviously to the relative portion for that day: on Sunday from "Rishon" to "Sheni", on Monday from "Sheni" to "Shlishi", and so on. The Rebbe Rashab learned this shiur of a parshah of Chumash with Rashi's commentary every day.
Another thing that took place every day - reciting Tanach by heart. And what from Tanach? He says "one kapitel [chapter] from Torah, and also from Neviim, and also from Kesuvim". Meaning, every day he had a schedule to recite by heart one chapter from Torah, one chapter from Neviim, and one chapter from Kesuvim.
The connection to this point of reciting by heart is interesting. It is well known that the Gemara in tractate Gittin says that "written words you are not permitted to recite by heart". And in the diary the Rebbe relates that when his father-in-law, the Rebbe Rayatz, told him this point, the Rebbe immediately asked: What about the rule that one cannot say them by heart, how does this fit? And there it is written that the Rebbe Rayatz told him that they were not careful about this.
To complete the matter: There is a letter from the Rebbe in "Igros Kodesh", in which he was asked about what is written in a short Maamar of the Alter Rebbe in "Likkutei Torah", parshas Kedoshim, on "and you shall honor the presence of an old man" - where it is written that a person must be fluent in the Five Books of the Torah by heart. The questioner asked: How is it possible to be fluent by heart, when "written words you are not permitted to recite by heart"? And in the letter the Rebbe writes to him that the problem is saying them by heart, but to know them in the memory of the mind - one needs to know everything by heart. Regardless, on that occasion the Rebbe Rayatz said that they were not careful regarding this point.
Another shiur - "one chapter of Mishnayos". Every day he had a shiur of one chapter of Mishnayos. Up to here he detailed the strictly daily studies; from here on there is further mention of study, but study that is not necessarily daily.
"A Gemara shiur". What were the regular Gemara shiurim of the Rebbe Rashab? Here he distinguishes between in-depth study and girsa. The Gemara shiur "for in-depth study, two pages a week"; whereas the girsa shiur - where one does not dwell in depth, but rather studies the subjects without all the commentaries - was "a shiur for girsa, three pages a day".
And here he returned to the daily shiurim. Afterwards - "a shiur in Yerushalmi"; here it is not detailed in what order, but apparently this too was a daily shiur in Yerushalmi. "Also a shiur" there was another shiur, and here it is explicitly written that it was "not every day" (it is not detailed in what frequency and in what form) - "a shiur in Poskim", to study the Poskim across the entire order of the Shulchan Aruch.
Interestingly, there is an addition here in the diary: The Rebbe Rashab used to say about himself that when he studies the Poskim of Choshen Mishpat, he takes special delight in it compared to the other sections of Poskim. It is not detailed there in which part, but this is the general point.
Afterwards there is a final reference to the study of Midrash, Midrash Rabbah. He says: "Throughout the year he would complete all of Midrash Rabbah" - every year the Rebbe Rashab would study and complete all of Midrash Rabbah on all parts of the Torah. But there is an interesting practical point here: "Borrows in the long sedras and repays in the short ones". There are parshiyos that have a large amount of Midrash, and there are short parshiyos. In the weeks where the Midrash is long, he would not finish everything but "borrow" - meaning he remained obligated to complete it; and when he reached the weeks where the amount of Midrash was smaller, he would "repay", returning the debt of the long parshiyos and completing them. In this manner, it turned out that throughout the year he studied all of Midrash Rabbah.
Up to here is the study schedule of the Rebbe Rashab in the original. There are other things he would study there, but the Rebbe chose to quote only these things - from which we apparently need to learn a directive for our own conduct as well.
