The Daily Mitzvah schedule runs parallel to the daily study of 3 chapters of Maimonides' 14-volume code. There are instances when the Mitzvah is repeated a few days consecutively while the exploration of the same Mitzvah continues in the in-depth track.

Daily Quote
A person should really know the pathways of Heaven, but actually this is not crucial. One needs only the main thing - to help another wholeheartedly, with sensitivity, to take pleasure in doing a kindness to another.
