מִתַּקָנוֹת כְּבוֹד קְדוּשַׁת אַדְמוּ"ר שְׁלִיטָ"א: לֵאמֹר בְּכָל בֹּקֶר אַחַר הַתְּפִלָּה — וְגַם בְּשַׁבָּת וְיוֹם טוֹב, רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה וְיוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים — תְּהִלִּים כְּפִי שֶׁנֶּחֱלַק לִימֵי הַחֹדֶשׁ, וְאַחַר אֲמִירָה בַּעֲשָׂרָה — קַדִּישׁ יָתוֹם. בְּחֹדֶשׁ שֶׁל כט יוֹם אוֹמְרִים בְּיוֹם כט הַשִּׁעוּר דִּשְׁנֵי הַיָּמִים.

One of the practices instituted by the Rebbe [Rayatz] is the recitation of the daily portion of Tehillim every morning after davenen, following the division of its 150 psalms according to the days of the month — including Shabbos, festivals, Rosh HaShanah, and Yom Kippur. When this portion is recited with a minyan, it is followed by a Mourners’ Kaddish.1 In a month of 29 days, the portions for both the 29th and the 30th days should be recited on the 29th day.2

To Fill In the Background

The image of a Tehillim-zogger, a Jew reading Tehillim with earnest reverence, is a classic part of our nation’s spiritual heritage. Whenever people face difficulties in life, or are in need of blessing, or if they simply seek solace, they turn to their Tehillim. King David’s words of prayer have the unique ability to speak to anyone, at any time and in any place.

In the villages of Eastern Europe it was once very common to find a Chevrah Tehillim, a group of townsmen who would gather regularly in their local shul to say Tehillim together. For countless Jews around the world, the Rebbe Rayatz took this time-honored practice one step further, by making the daily recitation of Tehillim part of their day-to-day regimen.3
