When one lies down to sleep, wakes up, and wherever one goes, they should review the Tanya both verbally and in their minds.’” —Likutei Diburim, Vol. 4 “I think it’s special to memorize Tanya, because when Moshiach comes the ground will be able to say ‘thank you’ for all of the words of Torah we said while walking on it.” — Menachem Mendel Hazan, chayol , Milan, Italy “To me, being a chayol in Tzivos Hashem means following orders, even if I don’t understand or enjoy them. A good soldier knows that fulfilling the commander’s orders helps the army achieve victory.” — Velvel Reikhtman, chayol, Montreal, Canada Through Tzivos Hashem’s Baal Pah campaigns, Velvel memorized Shisha Sidrei Mishna, as well as the first twelve perokim of Tanya—what a zechus! 29
