Meet the Catholic Who Says Chitas
Domenico Lepore is an anomaly. Like many Jews, he studies the weekly Torah reading, often with commentaries that range from the Maimonidean to the mystical. Like many Chabad Chasidic Jews, he adheres to the daily study regimen of Chumash, Tehillim and Tanya (Chitas). His mornings begin with the Hayom Yom—the “thought for the day” compiled by Rabbi Menachem M.Schneerson, culled from the talks of his predecessor, Rabbi Joseph I. Schneersohn.
