Hayom Yom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hayom Yom (Hebrew: היום יום, "Today is day ...") is a calendar for 5703 (1942-3), compiled by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
For each day the calendar prescribed sections of Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya for study that day; this practise is known in Chabad-Lubavitch as Chitas (חתת). Each days portion of Chumash is studied with the corresponding Rashi commentary.
Each day's entry also noted historical events that happened on that day, or Lubavitcher customs associated with that day, and/or a short inspirational thought for the day, generally taken from the works of the then Lubavitcher Rebbe, Joseph Isaac Schneersohn.
The calendar was never reissued for subsequent years, but has been reprinted many times, and is still studied. In many Lubavitcher synagogues, the entry for each day is read aloud after the morning service.
[edit] Name
The calendar's name is taken from the words used to open the recital of the daily psalm in the Jewish morning prayer service, which begins "Today is the nth day of the week...".
