A new grassroots initiative is launching a study cycle to help chassidim fulfill the Rebbe’s request to learn the entire Torah Ohr and Likkutei Torah in one year.
Project Likkutei Torah is a grassroots initiative to learn one daf of Torah Ohr / Likkutei Torah, the “Chassidishe Parsha,” each day, while learning an additional daf of Likkutei Torah Shir Hashirim each Shabbos.
Following this study one will complete the entire Torah Or and Likkutei Torah in roughly one year!
The Rebbe suggested many times including parshas Chayei Sara 5752 that Chassidim make a goal to complete the entire Torah Or & Likkutei Torah.
This Project is making this learning cycle more approachable and accessible by creating detailed daf overview shiurim and short daf summaries, shared via various podcasts and online videos, in addition to curating summaries and daf with nekudos from other sources clearly presented in an accessible cloud drive.

Project Likkutei Torah is sponsored in part by a generous donation from Rabbi Meyer and Shaindy Gutnick.
“We are also excited to announce that a new 5-year track will begin this Chof Daled Teves, we will be providing tools and shiurim to learn one amud (collum) per day” – Says Rabbi Betzalel Bassman, who spearheaded this project in memory of his mother, מרת פיגא בת בצלאל הכהן הכ”מ.
Since launching this project on Yud Tes Kislev over 200 participants have committed to receiving daily resources, as well as tens of volunteers and maggidei shiurim including:
Rabbi Mendel Cohen – Sacramento, CA
Rabbi Avraham Katz – Postville, IA
Rabbi Aron Moss, – Australia
Rabbi Eli Leib Rubin – Pittsburgh, PA
Rabbi Yossi Deren – Pittsburgh, PA
Rabbi Boruch Epstein – Chicago, IL
Rabbi Elchonon Friedman, Pittsburgh, PA
Rabbi Dovid Leib Shmerling – Australia
One of the main reasons learning Torah Ohr & Likkutei Torah is so appealing is that the Rebbe refers to it as the Torah Shebaal Peh (Oral Torah) of Chassidus. Additionally, the Tzemach Tzedek says that he took the best of the Alter Rebbe’s maamorim for publication in Torah Ohr / Likkutei Torah.
“I am blown away with the excitement and positive feedback about this project” says Yaakov Cahnman, Project Manager.
Project Likkutei Torah is a project of the Hilchasa K’Rav Institute directed by Rabbi Betzalel Bassman and Rabbi Avrohom Jacks.
Yasher koach to Rabbi Avrohom Rotban and his organization Irgun Torah for assistance in the promotion of this project.
