Tzedakah

Of all mitzvot, Torah study is the one that allows us to directly connect with the mind and intellect of G-d in an intense and powerful way. Refer back to Chapter 2 for a full discussion of how Torah brings peace and unity to the world.

The mitzvah of Torah study is an all-encompassing one, because there are many different topics that one can study, on many different levels. In our generation, Torah is accessible in multiple languages, in many different formats, in print, online, and through audiovisual classes that one can join anytime, from anywhere.

During the years of his leadership, the Rebbe introduced multiple Torah campaigns which he tied to the theme of unity: studying a daily portion of Chumash, Psalms and Tanya, and daily study of the works of Maimonides. Every person is encouraged to study a few words of Torah every day, on their level, to join together with the entire Jewish people.
