Greetings and blessings,

…With regard to your question concerning the study of Chumash together with Rashi’s commentary:1 In general, the practice is to study the portion of Chumash over the course of the day. If one does not manage to complete it during the day, one should complete it the following night….

I did not hear that there was a necessity to study Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya in this precise order.

With blessings that you establish yourself in an appropriate manner both spiritually and materially.

In the Rebbe's correspondence we see his scholarship, the care he has for every individual Jew, the communal projects which he pioneered, and many other dimensions of his leadership. The Rebbe gives a person an insight that lifts him above the vantage point from which he operated previously and gives him the perspective to find a solution to his difficulties.
