Draw today's card
Each card carries the Hebrew, the English beneath it, and its chapter. On the reverse: two or three sentences on what the passage is answering, then one line under TODAY: a practice, not a summary.

The object
what is printed, and on whatHow this was made
Every passage was pulled from the Tanya itself, part by part, from Likkutei Amarim through Shaar HaYichud VehaEmunah, Iggeret HaTeshuvah, Iggeret HaKodesh and Kuntres Acharon, and checked against the printed Hebrew. The English beside each passage renders that Hebrew directly and was written for this site, not taken from a modern translation.
What was left out
Every card is meant to lift. The Tanya has a great deal to say about judgment and about the severity of sin, and none of it is here. What was kept is the encouragement, which is most of the book once you go looking for it. One line was cut on inspection: a familiar phrase turned out to have been supplied by a translator from the siddur rather than appearing in the Tanya, and it is not worth printing something under a name it does not belong to.
Where to study the full text
These are cards, not a substitute for learning. For the Tanya itself, in Hebrew and in translation, see Sefaria and Chabad.org, both of which make it freely available.
