A special adaptation for children of the Rebbe’s Hayom Yom book hit the bookstores this week as the Chabad community was celebrating the Rosh Hashana of Chassidus.
Hayom Yom is an anthology of Chassidic aphorisms and customs arranged by the Rebbe according to the days of the year, beginning from the 19th of Kislev.
The new book “A Diamond a Day” offers those precious chassidic customs and insights in a language children can relate to. They were adopted by Chaya Shuchat, a mother of 8 and a writer on the interface between Chassidic philosophy and modern life.
And if that wasn’t enough to keep the children engaged, there are also illustrations by young artist Avigail Najjar that appear throughout the book.
“This Hayom Yom is an amazing accomplishment,” said Rabbi Shloma Majeski, and Mashpia and Dean of Machon Chana Institute. “It is written in a way that will enable young children to understand and appreciate these precious daily gems.”
Rabbi Yosef Y. Simpson, principal of United Lubavitch Yeshiva on Crown Street, is also enthusiastic. “It is an invaluable sefer, especially for this day and age, which brings out Chassidic concepts for children in a practical and engaging way,” he said.
The book will be available in Crown Heights bookstores, or can be purchased online at diamondpublications.org.
You are on track it’s brought down that most menorahs have backs and therefore if it’s towards outside so the house hold won’t see if it’s towards the inside the outside won’t see but this menorah is seen both ways and under 20 amos from ground so it’s a big pirsumei nissa for household and the outside thanks to comment 8
our menorah is next to a doorway AND it is near the window.

best book ever saw!
i love it!
We don’t place the menoire by the window.
One of the reasons because lot of menorahs have a back and than there is no pirsume nissa in the house…
Unfortunately ameratzes…
Great book my kids love it. Every parents , and shluchim should have this in their home
Nice idea and glad it’s taking shape.
I’d suggest switching out the illustration of the Chanukah Menorah in the window with one by an indoor door as is the Chabad custom.
Since this is a Chabad book of customs it should be consistent with Chabad ways.
Otherwise yishar koach!
It looks like a revolutionary seder
good!
Chaya and Avigail Lifsha you guys are amzing!!! I would have never thought of such a thing.
