Lekkutei Torah “Daf Yomi” Learns Maamar That led to Stalin’s Death Just as War Began in Ukraine
As hundreds of Anash complete the first round of Torah Ohr in the newly-launched “Project Likkutei Torah”, culminating with the Maamar, “Al Kein…” in the hosafos of Torah Ohr Megillas Esther, the the first bombs were dropped on Ukranian soil.
“The Maamar “Al Kein” of the Alter Rebbe is the basis for our Rebbe’s Maamar of Purim 5713…” says Rabbi Mendy Cohen, distinguished Maggid Shiur for Project Likkutei Torah (PLT).
“What incredible hashgocha protis: Right after Putin invades Ukraine, the birthplace of Chassidus, our ‘daf yomi’ cycle of Torah Ohr / Likkutei Torah has us learning the very maamar that 7 generations later would “kill” Stalin!” marvels Rabbi Betzalel Bassman, Director of PLT.

This new “Daf-Yomi style” initiative fulfills the Rebbe’s Hora’ah of learning the entire Torah Ohr and Likkutei Torah over the course of a year. Since the launching of PLT on Yud-Tes Kislev, hundreds of Anash have completed the daily study of Torah Ohr, and began Likkutei Torah this Monday, 4 Adar Sheini.
“Now, we are embarking on the second phase of PLT, covering the entire sefer Likkutei Torah one daf per day, with an additional daf of Shir Hashirim each Shabbos. There is no better time to join!” enthuses Rabbi Yaakov Cahnman, Manager of PLT.
Whether it’s 5 minutes a day or 25 minutes, you can complete an entire Daf (4 columns) daily with the project’s 4 podcasts, YouTube channel, or carefully arranged cloud drive. Join one of our multiple WhatsApp groups for additional daily resources.
