Hayom Yom 3 Nissan - Torah study schedule of the Rebbe Rashab

The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman

מִשִּׁעוּרֵי אַאַמוּ"ר

The daily study schedule of my revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], included

בְּכָל יוֹם פַּרְשָׁה חוּמָשׁ עִם פֵּרוּשׁ רַשִׁ"י

the daily passage of Chumash with the commentary of Rashi;

אֲמִירַת תַּנַ"ךְ בְּעַל פֶּה: קאַפִּיטְל אֶחָד מִתּוֹרָה וְכֵן מִנְּבִיאִים וְכֵן מִכְּתוּבִים

reciting the Tanach by heart — one chapter from the Torah, from the Prophets, and from the Writings;

פֶּרֶק אֶחָד מִשְׁנָיוֹת

one chapter of Mishnah;

שִׁעוּר גְּמָרָא לְעִיּוּנֵי בּ' דַפִּים לְשָׁבוּעַ

a session of in-depth Gemara study, covering two folios a week;

שִׁעוּר לְמִיגְרַס ג' דַפִּים לְיוֹם

a review of three [Talmudic] folios per day;

שִׁעוּר בִּירוּשַׁלְמִי

a study of the Talmud Yerushalmi;

גַּם שִׁעוּר — לֹא בְּ‏כָל יוֹם — בְּפּוֹסְקִים

and a study session — though not every day — in the works of the halachic authorities.

בְּמֶשֶׁךְ הַשָּׁנָה הָיָה מְסַיֵּם כָּל הַמִּדְרָשׁ רַבָּה

In the course of the year he would also study the entire Midrash Rabbah.

לֹוֶה בַּסִּדְרוֹת הָאֲרוּכּוֹת וּפוֹרֵעַ בַּקְּצָרוֹת

In weeks in which the text [of the Midrash] was extensive, he would “borrow” time, and would repay it in the weeks whose text was shorter.
