What is Tanya Yomi?
Tanya Yomi is the daily learning cycle through the Tanya — the foundational work of Chabad chassidut, written by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi and first published in 1796 — divided into short daily portions that complete the entire book every year. It's the Tanya track of the daily Chitas practice (Chumash, Tehillim, Tanya), and the portions are small: usually a page or less, dense with meaning.
What is the Tanya about?
The Tanya is a systematic map of the inner life: the two souls in every person, what a beinoni (the "in-between" person the book is really written for) can actually achieve, how mind can govern heart, and how to serve with joy rather than despair. It's often called the "written Torah of chassidut" within Chabad — the book everything else comments on. (Background: What is the Tanya?.)
How does the Tanya Yomi cycle work?
The year's schedule divides the Tanya's sections — Likkutei Amarim's 53 chapters, Shaar HaYichud VehaEmunah, Iggeret HaTeshuvah, and the letters of Iggeret HaKodesh — into a portion for each day of the Hebrew year, so learners everywhere are on the same passage on the same day. Because the daily unit is short, it pairs naturally with another cycle — many learners do Tanya Yomi alongside Daf Yomi or the parsha.
In short: Tanya Yomi is a short daily portion of Chabad chassidut's foundational work, completing the book each year on a shared worldwide schedule.
