What a year in this school is made of: the sefarim on its shelf, the daily cycles it keeps, and the seasons in which the halachos of a chag are taught before the chag arrives.

Who teaches, and out of which sefer
Where a Chabad rabbi has filmed the page you are learning, that is the shiur you are given. Where none has, a vetted Orthodox maggid shiur on that exact page may stand in — and the page says plainly that he is not a Chabad rabbi; where there is neither, the page says that too. The sefarim are named on the page with their imprint. Some are Chabad editions — תניא, תהלים, שולחן ערוך אדמו״ר הזקן, ספר המנהגים, דרך מצותיך. Some are not: the Chumash is מקראות גדולות בית יהודא, the Mishnayos are a Bartenura, and the Kitzur is Ganzfried. This school would rather name the edition on every page than make one promise about all of them.
About the Kitzur on this shelf
קיצור שולחן ערוך, ר׳ שלמה גאנצפריד, ווארשא תרל״ד. This is not the Chabad pesak. Where it differs from מנהג חב״ד our practice follows שולחן ערוך אדמו״ר הזקן and ספר המנהגים חב״ד. Every practical question goes to your rav.
Who is beside you
Every lesson opens the printed page. Where a Chabad rabbi has filmed that page, his class opens beside it; where none has, the page says so. Beside it, an AI study partner runs on a commercial AI model: it learns the page in front of you with you, out of the page's own words. It is not a rav, it does not pasken, and nothing it says is a psak — a practical question goes to your own rav.
Kept in step with the school itself — when a division changes, this page changes with it.
If you print this page — A printed page carrying Hashem's Names (Sheimos) or divrei Torah may not be thrown away. Keep it, or put it in shaimos.
