About Chalukas Hashas

The Alter Rebbe instituted Chalukas Hashas so that a community could complete the entire Shas each year. In Tanya, he called on each town to divide the masechtos among its members, by choice or by gorel. Where there were several shuls, each was to arrange its own division. If a shul was too small to complete Shas on its own, it was to join a larger congregation. (Kuntres Acharon, Essay 9)

The Rebbe encouraged everyone to take part by completing at least one masechta from one Yud Tes Kislev to the next. At the Yud Tes Kislev farbrengens, participants wrote their names and chosen masechtos on cards. The Rebbe filled out and submitted a card of his own. (Machne Israel)
