Chitas Study Cycle

The following are excerpts from Sefer HaMinhagim, The Book of Chabad-Lubavitch Customs (complete entry):

1. Chumash with the Commentary of Rashi: Every day one studies one passage of the current week's Sidra [i.e., the Sidra to be publicly read on the forthcoming Shabbos] with the commentary of Rashi. Thus, on the first day of the week one reaches Sheini, on the second one reaches Shlishi, and so on. [...]
2. Tehillim: After the morning prayers every day including Shabbos, Yom-Tov, Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur [after Mussaf] one recites chapters of Tehillim as apportioned for the days of the month. [...] When the 29th is the last day of the month, one reads the portion for the 30th day as well.[...] As is well known, Tehillim (including the above-mentioned daily portion) is not read at night, from the appearance of the stars until after midnight. However, one does study Chumash and Tanya. The above restriction does not apply on Rosh HaShanah, the Days of Penitence, Yom Kippur and Hoshana Rabbah.
3. Tanya: The daily passages should be studied as set out in the annual study guide entitled Moreh Shiur [which appears as the first appendix to all current editions of the Tanya].
