For each day, the calendar prescribed sections of Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya for study that day; this practice is known in Chabad as Chitas (חת"ת). Each day's portion of Chumash is studied with the corresponding Rashi commentary.
Hayom Yom contains a biographical overview of the seven Chabad Rebbes. In Hayom Yom many of Chabad customs were first published. The sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, described Hayom Yom as a “truly chasidic cultural work.”
